I was a big bike commuter there but still against all this money being spent on the lanes. But it is what Seattle does. They WANT people to stop driving. The roads are so bad because so much of your transportation dollars are spent on busses, ferries and bike lanes. It explains why the roads are so nice in Kentucky.

I have to admit, though, that thanks to cell phones and texting, It may be necessary to disallow bicycles on public roads, for the safety of the cyclists. Either that or make bike lanes that have physical barriers to protect them from texters.

Motorcycles too. (no, I’m not seriously proposing it, nor do I think it should happen, but I have little doubt some liberals are seriously considering it.).

Roads started for people walking. At a min, it should be allowed for any method of moving. I dislike the idea of some roads not being allowed to move along the shoulder at least. Not everyone can have a car or bike. At a min, one should be a able to roam, which is god given.
