hoe can you deduce a point of view or think I'm elitist from those two questions I POSED TO YOU, cbhi?
I wanted to know if YOU think slower traffic needs to keep right? //////
you cannot endorse a bike lane, even on a highway, preferring cyclists ride off road on shoulders rather than the travelled way! it also sounds like you want to force cyclists into high speed traffic on the state highways around your island unless it's uphill? wild and wacky stuff, cbhi, way to keep bicycling participation way down! you are one of those so in love with traffic engineering standards you would rather see extremely low participation than policies and designs proven to work around the world.
Or did you just admit you endorsed bike facilities on Young Street in Honolulu? Since you endorsed them there, you realize there's scads of other roads around Honolulu that could be restriped with thoughtful bike facilities (like the ones you endorse on Young Street) to better accomodate bicycling traffic. paint is cheap!
only 200 new yards of bike lane in honolulu since 1984, eh?
why is less than 1.5 percent bike commuting considered 'normal' to you? other cities around the world have 20 times that. my northwest city has 3 times that paltry participation seen in honolulu, yet we still have hills and much more marginal weather to commute in.
and the complaints about the mandatory use law?
hawaii's mandatory use law is acceptable to a vc riding style
(although it doesn't jibe with vc's political message) as it stands now, cbhi. bike lane must be usable first, and then you're allowed to leave the bike lane for any reason, turning, obstructions, to avoid hazardous conditions, and not limited to those reasons. is it a mandatory use of sidepaths law? no.
such hyperbole from hawaii! One things for sure, vcist visions for how bicyclists are served by transportation infrastructure will keep bicycling so wedded to the motorhead's wet dreams as to be virtually nonexistant.
