You consistently pretend to yourself i don't lobby for smart, context appropriate bikeways incuding the whole gamut of bike facilities including regular bikelanes with considerate intersection treatments.
you mischaracterize me, so i have to correct you, and then you do it again on the very next page, making up phantom 'copenhagenistas' despite my consistent message at bike forums to the contrary.
you've chose to ignore what i always say about bike planning here at bike forums, fabricate my beliefs, that you than rally against ceaselessly and group me into your made up category of 'bike sidewalks everywhere' advocates, despite no such advocates existing.
your 'nuanced position' ignores my consistent message of robust, context specific bikeway networks that encompass the entire range of accommodations, while ranting and raving anytime people mention the slightest amount of 'traffic separation', yet conveniently ignoring bikelanes also separate bikes and car traffic. Mix in periodic, paradoxical backtracking, promoting Hembrow style (robustly dutch) traffic networks, all the while conflating different types of street design into YOUR 'one size fits all' stereotyped screed against the vast majority bicyclists and their nuanced, bicycle advocacy positions.
Get a grip - spare us the histrionics.
And spare wheel fails to grasp that Hembrow would consider any intersection like the one pictured to call for much greater traffic separation. A cycletrack with preferential signal heads, and phase timing to support cyclists turning left if it saw significant amounts of left turning bike traffic.
