Learning and Changing your Mind
Part of what we're trying to do here is to persuade people to change their minds. Has anything you learned here convinced you to change your mind? The only thing that I ask that you NOT include is any variation on the theme of "I learned how stupid, dishonest, pigheaded (etc.) the people who disagree with me are."
The purpose of this thread is not to convince others to come to your point of view, but to explain what positions of yours have changed and why. If you want to convince people people that you are right, please feel free to create a link to your new thread on the topic.
As to me, I came to the forums as an opponent of all bike lanes. I now agree that bike lanes can work on roads with few intersections, especially if they have high speeds. Genec is particularly persuasive on this point. I've also learned about the value of bike facilities like transit stations and bike lockers.
