I would say that limited access roads are a special case.

The point I was trying to make with this thread is that 90% of the respondents do not agree with mandatory sidepath laws; most believe that cyclists should have their choice of options, and that cyclists' access to the roadway should not be denied. My conclusion is that it is primarily non-cyclists who advocate for compulsory sidepath laws. I believe this supports the proposal put forth by ChipCom that cyclists should be working together, from a position of unity and strength, to advocate for a wide variety of properly-designed on and off street improvements for cyclists, rather than bickering among themselves over the narrow-minded VC agenda. And that all cyclists, whether they self identify as VC, AC, or something else, should also be working together to oppose mandatory bike lane or sidepath laws, instead of opposing the lanes and paths themselves.
