Bike Lane Battle

bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. you cant force a lifestyle like this on most people living here
2. I have an issue with parents who 1. Do not make their children wear their helmets properly, and 2. fail to lead by example by not wearing helments them selves.
3. "Etienne and Corilee..." oy vey. Horrible names, those poor children :( Vancouver looks like a beautiful city, though!
4. My kid was hit by two cars, while he was in bike lanes, trying to bike home after work in north vancouver. Fucking bike lanes are retarded in Vancouver. Its half assed. And nobody rides in rain. Pointless waste of time. Especially when you give morons drivers licenses
5. Or BC can fix its policies and priorities and not make housing impossible for locals to afford. No? I thought so. They love all those Chinese money.
6. It's all a political decision. Seville decided to make it happen at once. Vancouver went for it "half ass." Most other places (such as Miami) just add bike lanes (and sharrows) for the hell of it, which surely counts towards "PR" (look how many bike lanes we've done!) but doesn't bring cyclists to our deadly roads. "Taming traffic" is surely not in their plans.
   
   The people of the NL fought their own battles but perhaps they had better politicians. I mean, any politician here that raises the issue of taming traffic (enforcing "speed cameras") will be out of office in no time. There's another way to go around it which is to form "small teams" of cyclists (real practical cyclists going rather slow, not the ones in lycra) that secure and hold a traffic lane "come what may."
   
   That's different from Critical Mass where the kids have a social event "playing revolution" and blocking the road. It's not a confrontational issue, it's a sharing issue. Not that the drivers will easily give up their lion's share of the road. They will because they have to. People riding bikes are not monkeys or insects. They are people too.
7. How many of you parents go riding with your children? You know you are setting a bad example for them right. put on a helmet or don't ride
8. Only faggots cycle.
9. show me a war started, a dictator created or a population lost...over a bike.
10. Ecuación y números elocuentes.
11. MILF alert
12. Not a battle at all. Benefits for all. Just like the report says.
13. The most important thing is to separate the cyclists from the motor vehicles, even if we have to make some roads car-free. Allowing both on the road at the same time is dangerous and stressful for everyone involved.
14. Amsterdam is flat.
    
    These sanctimonious do-gooders scare me. We need a broad approach, not some "take your medicine, we know what's good for you" nanny state. Start by ending subsidies for oil, cars etc. Let everyone pay their way. Bikes will follow.
    We also need to look seriously at deregulating the for-hire passenger transportation industry and let Uber, jitneys, shuttles etc travel our streets to ease the burden on the roads and transit.
15. Yeah, this might work in BC, but in pretty much every other province in Canada, investing money into this would be a terrible waste of money.
16. Hemp fuel,hemp made cars and buses will help with pollution and so will biking they all help with clean air and water.Solutions to problems is what we need as Canadians with less bitching as you hide behind your screens. Stay Positive!
17. Look at her riding gracefully without her helmet rofl
18. @bravo actual, folks ride in winter yes, snow gets cleaned for cars and bikes, having fun already, thanks
19. So, you want more bike shit in a country that has snow on the ground for near 7 months of the year? Yeah okay. Have fun with that in winter.
20. Thank you for the longer segment that didn't just look at the issue as bike lanes vs no bike lanes.
