  1. This had quite a spirited discussion on the http://www.BikePortland.org and the http://www.shift2bikes.org email list when it was released. http://bikeportland.org/2007/01/05/is-it-time-to-try-physically-separated-bike-lanes

    I’m generally in favor of this but many folks feel it could actually be more dangerous and could potentially make it so bikes couldn’t use the regular road. Personally, I love the quote of the former mayor of Bogata’, Columbia, Enrique Peñalosa, that states that a bike lane that can’t be used by an 8-year old is not a bike lane.

    BTW, Clarence Eckerson, Jr. is here this weekend and next doing his video activism thang with City Repair.
