Its total nonsense.

A total over generalisation based on nothing more than rabid inability
to except others might know more than you or, and god forbid, disagree
with your paranoid ranting.

Per His Highness the TibetanMonkey, originator of the Stop the
Bull**** Campaign:

"the amount of cycling in the UK has fallen dramatically and more or
less continuously over the last half century; it accounted for 37 per
cent of all journeys in 1949, but accounts for only around one per
cent today"

My sources tell me that the UK is the second fattest nation...

Dunno from the fat index, but when I was there some years back
for a family reunion (near Wells); the little riding I was able
to do on a borrowed 3-speed left me thankful for the riding
conditions here on the third-world roads of Southeastern
Pennsylvania.

Where there are paths/trails, it's OK- but the roads where
traffic moves at speeds over 25 mph, I saw had no shoulders, no
ghost lines. Not to mention all those people driving on the
wrong side of the road.... -)

Not to mention we have the best sidewalks to ride bikes in the world
here in America. Those ramps for the handicap came in real handy.

... and nobody is ever walking on most of it.

Are they scared of cyclists?

They worship the car culture.

So you agree that all designers dont ride or test their designs?

You're an idiot if you do.

Its [It's] total nonsense.

A total over generalization based on nothing more than rabid inability
to except [accept] others might know more than you or, and god forbid,
disagree
with your paranoid ranting.

Tom Sherman is a liberal-socialist-communist ideologue. Once you know that,
you know everything you will ever have to know about him.

I have been professionally involved in infrastructure design and
construction work for over a decade, and have *never* encountered a
transportation facility being built as a prototype and tested, then
constructed for use. The reasons for this are bloody obvious to anyone
involved.

I also happen to be professionally involved with infrastructure design
and construction work in the real world. But maybe we should leave
facility design up to disgruntled ex-librarians?

So you dont believe in experience or test trials etc?

I think you're seriously deluded if you think widening the car lane with
no bike specific lane is safer.

No. More. You're insane.

You dont seem able to think past your own extreme and rare experiences.

Simon Lewis follows his precedence of being wrong, once again.

P.S. The contraction of "do not" has an apostrophe.

Well, they never figured the cyclists to be riding sidewalks.

I wasn't thinking about cyclists either.

More some poor soul walking home at night and falling on his face
bco the curb sticking up.

Stupidity is not rewarded in the jungle. That's it.

You have to make up for the designers stupidity as well as your own.
