The _Observer_ on "deadly" bike lanes

IMHO a major unacknowledged factor is wanting to prolong personal space for as long as possible, particularly when commuting to work. Houses and cars are personal space; bikes, pavements, buses, offices are not. I disagree. Bikes are pretty personal. You adjust them to fit yourself, and people don't generally swap them around. Ever had one stolen? I counter you by proposing that its a misconception among non-cyclists that its common for people to borrow bikes, and that they are interchangeable. You certainly can borrow a bike, but would be uncomfortable till it gets adjusted to suit you. And they come in different sizes. |
