Bingo. Ideally with a pack 🙂

Are there serious measurements of what happened to traffic when these bike lanes were built? Will the effect of removing them be measured?

Every cyclist should take the lane. Motor vehicles should give around 1.5 metres clearance (5ft) to cyclists. Overtaking on most roads, this takes up too much of the opposite lane to share with oncoming vehicles, so they must wait until the oncoming lane is free, and when it is, they can use it all.

Uh...

Literally not true. www.shive-hattery.com/road-diet-so...

Especially if you only remove a smallish segment. I have a 3 mile commute. If the whole thing was on uncomfortable streets I might change. If it’s just the last 4 blocks you’re just gonna be stuck behind me

We know safe bike lanes bring out new riders; it stands to reason most of them will quit if the lane goes away. It doesn't sit right with me to write them off just to make the point that car-brained drivers are shooting themselves in the foot.

I live in NW Brampton, lots of new housing builds going in. Pretty much zero bike infrastructure being included. Micro mobility is the future, but we have to worry about short term builders profits, not long term livability. Future generations will hate us.

Unfortunately I agree. I've been riding and commuting over 30yrs. Bike lines, while I appreciate them, are at the margins for me. For a lot of other people though and children especially they are the key enabler.

Take the lane!

Two good points!

well, for starters, the other party we elect into power is leaderless

I would be so excited about doing this every day

Rightly so.

OMG! I totally forgot he said that! 🤣🤣🤣

Many car drivers believe their registration fees pay for the road and bikes are freeloaders. They do not understand that the registration fee is mostly symbolic, and our taxes pay for roads. And bicyclists pay taxes too.

The next decade could be awesome especially if we can rein in the people trying to destroy the world.

Isn't there going to be a protest?

And that is not what I was talking about

So I’m on a social media platform and I have an opinion that I would rather bike ride down a side street then a Main Street and I’ve got two guys that are all in an uproar about it and find it necessary to insult me. No clearly and you’ve never been to Portland so you’ve never seen here. Duh

No, I haven’t

Better bike infrastructure --> more people using bike instead of car --> less traffic and delays for car drivers. It's not rocket science.

Not in Southern California. Bikes are not quite as big as pickup trucks. Too risky for me. I try to avoid busy streets as much as possible. Of course, I'm retired so I don't have to ride to work.

Nice! I sure hope it has a carbide tip to rip through paint if a car doesn't leave enough room.

Damn, that's fancy! I love it!

The revolution will not be motorized!

Snarl traffic and be joyful in doing so. Eventually target all kon bike lane roads and take them over in shifts thrpigu the day espeically during peak periods. Go further and fill the right lane with cyclists for the entirety of ford’s drive to queen’s park and back that’s non Gardiner/dvp m

First thing Vancouver mayor Ken Sim did was rip out Stanley Park's bike lane. It didn't do anything but make cycling more dangerous. Pure spite.
