Bikes belong on streets where cars are forced to slow to the speed of bikes (like 20mph/32kph max) and pedestrian have right of way. So places like your city’s downtown with small shops and whatnot, not the main arteries running from highways to city centers.
Bikes should not be on roads (i.e. higher speed, like 35mph/56kph), there should be separate infrastructure to accomplish the same tasks. Bike paths should connect streets by bypassing roads, much like highways should connect roads by bypassing streets.
In short:
highways - encourage cars, discourage bikes
roads - encourage cars, bypass with separate bike paths
I disagree completely. Roads should not be permitted to have loud, dangerous, toxic vehicles driving at such reckless speeds. There should be no kind of transportation surface upon which we encourage cars. They should be banned on all surfaces.
Bikes belong on the main roads!
And cars deserve to be banned.
Close.
