Ugh. I'm a new cyclist in Lincoln, and bike downtown almost daily. I have not encountered any upset drivers or any unsafe conditions cycling as part of the traffic flow. I usually am biking at about the same speed as the cars, and it takes about 5-10 seconds to get from stoplight to stoplight. Bike lanes are going to seriously confuse things in downtown and make it more dangerous for cyclists. Not to mention I can imagine the anger from motorists towards those who position themselves in the traffic lanes after the bike lanes have been painted. I will definitely be attending the public hearing.
