does anyone remenber when Mayor Koch went to China, was impressed by the bike lanes and had some instaled in NYC. The cycilests (mostly messengers) kept zig zaging all over the road - not keeping to the bike lanes. Koch said if they didn't use them properly, he'd take them out. They didn't, so he did.

The problem with bike lanes is that cabs think they are drop-off zones.

:lol expecting messengers to stick to bike lanes was a bit of a stretch
