still waiting for the example of an urban commercial street where you would prefer a bike lane to a fully separated facility.
*crickets*
'bike sidewalks everywhere' advocates, despite no such advocates existing.
hilarious. not only are you calling me a liar but you are insisting that separated infrastructure fanatics do not exist despite the fact that b_carfree posted in this very thread:
I'm inclined to agree...The president of the local bike club, a copenhagenista, also got involved. He pushed hard for an extended section of cylcletrack on this road that averages four or five driveways on each side (mostly serving multi-unit housing) per 366-foot block.
come to think of it i do not recall a single instance where bekologist has been critical of a cycletrack. maybe bekologist would care to correct me...
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.
i guess the hundred thousand+ german cycling federation members (or the posters here who apprently prefer door zone free bike lanes) are "extremists". as i have repeated over and over again, i have no problem with separated infrastructure in zones of high speed differential or at transportation choke points. nevertheless, where these conditions do not exist i believe that door zone free buffered bike lanes and/or aggressive traffic calming/elimination are *
BETTER* choices.
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.
first you tell us what jan heine meant and now you tell us what hembrow believes. why don't you try speaking for yourself instead of putting words in others' mouths (including my own).
context specific bikeway networks that encompass the entire range of accommodations
vague jargon.
promoting Hembrow style (robustly dutch) traffic networks
and you complain that i am mischaracterizing you. you really are a piece of work, bekologist.
