30 cyclists attended the opening ride of the Dunsmuir bike lane. Hmmmm. It cost all of us $300,000.00 to install those lanes. That’s $10,000 per cyclist. I think city council made a good vote purchase. Don’t you. Let’s be reasonable about installing these lanes. The surrounding corollary damage to businesses when vehicular lanes are closed is unacceptable.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood stated on his blog “People across America who value bicycling should have a voice when it comes to transportation planning. This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of non-motorized.” http://bit.ly/beH3GV

Francis – you have a number of irritable readers, I see.
Why are there no cranky pedestrians complaining about both cyclists and cars?! There’s a niche available for someone. Hop to it!

By the way – the driver stopped and called for help, as most citizens would. I don’t believe they asked him for license fees.

booge: I’m in perfect health despite being overweight. And I exercise regularly and have lost a reasonable amt of weight over seven mths.

MB, you know, it must be really easy to sit behind a couple of initials, afraid to let people know who you are and cast aspersions about people.

I guess that makes you ‘large’, eh? You are indeed a fool if nothing else. Enjoy yourself.

AGT: simmer down lad – “but the cycling facists in full force on this blog ”

… no one here is forcing anyone to ride a bike instead of commuting the way they are at present: be it walking, car, or transit.

By the way you should exercise more. It will help with you blood pressure. In fact why don’t you ride a bike on weekends.

It rains in vancouver and this keeps us `over-caffeinated`

A few years back I saw what I can only think was a ‘bandit sticker’ sloppily pasted to the back door of an Expedition with the obligatory lone male occupant:

BIG TRUCK / SMALL PENIS

Freedom to criticize too, eh?

“Single occupant cars are a problem? Idiots, it’s called freedom to choose.”

The problem is that many people feel forced into their cars because the choices for timely transit or safe walking/cycling aren’t there.
