Good evening, I came across these links on one of the HPV forums where I lurk. They are probably funny to a NYC sense of humor, but I also think they drive home the perils of bike lanes. My own preference is that we campaign for 14ft wide curb lanes, these can be paid for with regular road funds and would probably garner support from all road-users.
