HH I will concede in order to save us more of this sophistry. You are absolutely correct- it is indeed a fact that you have an opinion- absolutely positively correct. I stand corrected.
But now perhaps the easiest question you could have asked me:

I could compile a substantial list of NYC streets since most of the bike lanes are an improvement over nothing but some serve me personally better than others. I will list these since they were used consistently by me and several of my colleagues all summer long, at any and all hours of the day. Though I would ride without the bike lane designations (I prefer riding with them) but my friends use them and did not ride before they were there and would not ride without them.
They are the 10th Street bike lanes from the West Side path all the way to the east side.
The 9th street bike lanes running from east to west.
And the 90th and 91st bike lanes that connect the West Side Bike path to and from Central Park.
Should I list more? Have you ridden on any of these? Is this falling on deaf ears? How would you know if I'm right or wrong if you have not ridden on these particular streets prior to the existence and now with bike lanes? What would you base your opposition to them on- your opinion? Certainly not the NYC DOT bike safety study, which supports my opinion with facts.
