Oops, sorry, forgot. These facilities aren't meant from transportational cyclists. How naive of me!
Are they? So you're drawing conclusions about the opinions of a city of "locals" from a couple of quotes in an on-line article? My experience of cycling "advocates" is that they tend to ignore objections from locals (especially from local cyclists) in order to draw such conclusions, and it wouldn't surprise me if the same was happening here.
Sure, a few people might benefit from it, but the money that will be spent on this project could be better utilised on others that would benefit a far greater number of cyclists.
Yeah, well... if you go by your posts, nothing was EVER meant for transportational cyclists in the history of the world. You seem to have a very bitter and pessimistic view of any cycling project that you ever comment on.
