About 4 months ago I started to notice these new bike lanes appearing along my common routes to and from downtown.
I personally would like to send a heart-felt “Thank You” to the city for doing this and think that it was long over due.
Something about these lane markers that makes them unique is that there is no actual lane. It is also not any type of boundary to be avoided by cars and it would be impossible to avoid driving over them. Rather it is a reminder of what was true all along: that bikes have had the right to be in this space with cars and that we should all endeavor to make room for and be very aware of each other.
Now if we could only convince the hipsters to start wearing helmets and obeying traffic laws.
