I am not against the idea of bicycle facilities, properly understood.
It would have worked if bicycles were the primary means of transportation and the facilities were constructed with the same level of priority our current roadways are.
But the truth is, the current roadway system was in place first. Adding a secondary, overlaid system of bicycle facilities is sort of like playing tic-tac-toe on a city map. Not practical, except for building token bikeways for recreation.
The only way to integrate bicycles into the transportation picture is for them to share the road with motorists, with a few notable exceptions, such as neighborhood cut-throughs (connectors.) Motorists, in turn, must accept full responsibility and accountability for obeying all safety rules (especially speeding and aggressive driving.) It could be done if cyclist safety is taken seriously, perhaps more seriously than we currently take automobile safety.
Who knows, the increased motorist accountability might save some motorists' lives, too.
