You clearly have not attended some bike plan meetings or public meeting for installing bike lanes.
Thanks for the info. You are right I have never been to any of those meetings.
According to Turbo(someone hit him with a chair-fellow bike rider?) they are FULL CONTACT affairs!
Yeah never figured argument over lane positioning-or bike lanes-would be so contentious.
It certainly would be interesting to see actual numbers-car-bike hits per 10,000 people miles vs lane position
