I bike everyday. I agree with John that Bikes should stick to the street.Also, if it'll help, I'd like to pass along the suggestion that bike riders start using less-travelled streets. When I used to bike into Center City, I tended to avoid the hell-tunnels of Chestnut and Walnut, and use the less travelled paths like Lombard, Spruce or Pine. That way, I could ride in the street, and usually manage to ride in the middle of the street without becoming an obstacle to those morons who felt the need to pass through a city at 50 m.p.h.
SideWALKS are for walking and not for biking. Bike lanes are for biking and
not for parking or driving in!!! That's the problem. Why have the bike
lanes if they're just going to be used as parking lanes. I don't understand
the point of creating a greater danger for bikers. Bikers need to be given
more respect. Bikers cut down on pollution, create less traffic and also
help ease the parking problem. I also think bikers themselves need to think
about pedestrians and stay off the sidewalks especially where there are
alternatives such as bike lanes.
Of course, this meant taking the Spruce Street bridge. Perhaps bike riders now have an opportunity-- to ask that the new Spruce Street bridge have a clearly delineated, barriered bike lane?
