The majority is often wrong, and in this case is most definitely so.
I don't even know if the increase in width increases cyclist safety. But once the width is there, i don't see how a stripe of paint helps, and I certainly see how it hinders.
I don't think believing that cyclists have equal rights, and riding accordingly, is aggressive. Why do you?
Can you provide some supporting data, please. I don't mind being wrong but a little bit more support than your opinion would be helpful.
And how does a stripe hinder?
I can't help but observe that insistence on equal rights for something like a bike versus a car is pretty silly. And yes, agressive cycling sure helps all those OF auto drivers justify their shouts of 'Get on the Sidewalk!". They don't know and they don't care what the laws are.
