Like KV Rd? Just ride... what do you mean?
I already did, and I can do it towing a 60 lbs trailer. It's called negotiating for the right of way, and simply involves learning that if you ask for it politely, someone will give it you.
I've never ridden in Houston.
What's to understand?
Yes, these are just a few ideas, none of which qualify as an example of good road design using bike lanes.
Not a single reasonable answer. Especially with regard to "educating all current cyclists on the road." Guess bike lanes win hands down.
RE KV road and just ride... Take away the Bike Lanes... negotiate with the 65 MPH traffic and then talk to me.
RE your trailer... Guess that doesn't make you more visible does it? Ever do it at 4:30 in the afternoon near the Marine base? How about up Genesee near Clairemont Mesa Boulvard? What day and time of the day do you do this trailer riding? Anywhere during commute time?
RE Using EC in Houston... better try it before you claim it works everywhere. Forester, John Allen and Ken Kifer all mention the difficulty of merging with fast heavy traffic... something seems to work magically for you... Interesting world in which you live. The rest of us are pretty much just human.
