Government: “Everyone should take up cycling to stay healthy and reduce emissions”
Also government: “You will cycle in the gutter. We will not implement any cycle lanes with divides to protect you; instead, you’ll get some road markings that drivers ignore and occasionally disappear, usually at the section of road that’s most dangerous”
I’ve taken up cycling as a hobby recently, but there’s no way in hell I’m risking my life on a commute when drivers are so reckless, and the government doesn’t take action to protect cyclists.
Cyclist starter pack: “Sidewalk? You mean my personal bike lane?”
Not sure why you were downvoted… Some places don’t allow bikes in sidewalks
Some places don’t allow bikes in sidewalks
I wonder how many of those same places also don’t have safe cycling infrastructure.
If given a choice between a protected bike lanes and a wide multiuse path, or a bumpy sidewalk, nobody would choose the sidewalk. Hell, I see pedestrians walking in bike lanes and not on sidewalks, so there’s something wrong with sidewalks! LOL
But if someone is on a road without a bike lane or shoulder, with traffic going 80 km/h, you bet I would want them to hop on a sidewalk that sees no pedestrians ever.
