party pooperAnd what happens if a bicyclist ends up bailing and landing on one of those pointy spikes? Pointy spikes should never, ever be anywhere near a road.

And keep drivers from parking in them.How about we have the lanes marked off with pointy spikes so that cyclists know to stay in them?
They'd be on pedways elevated in the air, how would anyone park there?And keep drivers from parking in them.
I don't see the point of bike lanes honestly. Most bike accidents occur at intersections where the bike lanes offer no help.Can you imagine the lawsuits that would result from that? Eeeep. How about we just keep bike lanes as they are, Okay? Lord knows Toronto cyclists have given me shit lots of times, but I still think its better to have separate lanes for them, even in a winter city like Toronto.

Why do cities need to go out of their way to accommodate an incredibly dangerous means of transportation that exceedingly few people use?Boy, you really want people driving cars everywhere, huh? Here in Toronto the biggest cause of cycling injuries is what they call 'door prizes' - somebody turning without looking to park or opening their door(s) without looking for what might be coming past them.
With proper infrastructure it's safe and very well used. Just look at the Netherlands where most journeys in towns and cities are by bike, road deaths have plummeted and children are free to travel about on their own to school or whatever. Its cars that kill people, not bikes.Why do cities need to go out of their way to accommodate an incredibly dangerous means of transportation that exceedingly few people use?
Have you ever fallen out of a car? Does your car roll over when you hit a pothole?With proper infrastructure it's safe and very well used.

Better your steering arm than your actual arm.My mother damn near broke her leg falling out of a car, and my steering arm was bent when my car hit a pot hole. That cost a couple of hundred to fix.

Helicopters don't take up any space on the roads, so we should build lots of helipads to encourage people to use choppers.If the problem is congestion, then the solution is more efficient use of land space allocated to transport, in terms of people per square metre.
Meaning light rail and cycling, as both let vastly more people use the same space, relative to motorists. Just keep the oblivious smartphone-zombie pedestrians out of the bike lanes.

Which is why it's stupid to only consider transportation systems based on how much space they take up. Bicycles don't work for the elderly or the disabled, they don't work in the rain or cold, and they're dangerous.Are you being serious? Helicopters are remarkably expensive, not easy to fly and complicated to maintain.
Properly segregated bicycle infrastructure does though, it's ideal for mobility scooters to use unlike the pavement. Properly segregated cycle paths aren't dangerous and as for the cold and the rain, even when you drive you still have to get out at some point and walk, in the cold and the rain. That's what coats are for.Which is why it's stupid to only consider transportation systems based on how much space they take up.
