U.K. Bicycle Lanes: in the gutter
A lot can be said for the argument that the roads we have are more than sufficient for cyclists and automobiles alike. In my opinion, much time, money and effort is wasted on bike paths, when more attention should be given our current road conditions. Education and safety are key to motor vehicle and cyclists sharing our current roads in harmony. Let the U.K. teach us a lesson about how to do things properly in the United States.
There is no reason cars, bicycles and pedestrians can't coexist peacefully without wasting hundreds of thousands of our tax dollars on separate bicycle paths. However, let's concentrate on making the roads we have safe for everyone. If people want to build bike paths in places where there are no roads for cycling (old railroad routes, etc.), let them do it through non-profits.
A tip of the hat to BBC NEWS for this story.
People are talking: cycling, bicycle, cycle, bike, bike path, transportation
