Bicycle Lanes

Why is it that we now have bicycle lanes throughout the city and seldom if at all do you see anyone using them.  Perhaps the space allotted could have paved the way for emergency stops.

Then I was wondering what time, equipment, manpower and expense was involved in painting bicycles with directional arrows on city streets.  Very seldom have I seen any bike riders using the city streets.  But when I have, they don't seem to follow the rules of the road.  The gas pedal and pedal power don't seem to be well suited for sharing the roadway.

But even when the lies come into light for everyone to see, the damage has been done.  And it's extremely difficult and time consuming, to right the wrongs and change the direction set into motion by the lies. Truth must always prevail against lies.  The consequences brought about through lying should not be allowed to linger.  Swift, decisive actions are mandated to prevent the prolonged agony from the weight of lying.
