I like |>separate bike lanes, but those have their own problems (like turning left |>when the bike lane is on the right shoulder). | |If Bike Lanes were availible in most areas, and maintained as well as the |roads in those areas, then I would agree. The fact is, in most cities |(Houston is the example I will refer to) they are not, so I have no choice but |to ride in the streets. Unless, of course, I can ride through your lawn? |Fact of the matter is, a bicycle is a vehicle, and should be treated as such. Exactly. (Actually, as a veteran of going on 30 years of pedaling in Houston, the bike trails *are* maintained as well as the streets. They're both in pitiful condition most of the time. The streets are usually better enough that I'll continue to take my chances on them.) --Patrick L. "you ride 16 miles, and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt..." Humphrey
