Very sad. Riding a bicycle or motorcycle is so very dangerous.

More evidence that white painted lines on roads do not protect bike riders. We need a curb and landscaping as a barrier.

WE need #PersonalResponsibility

How about a totally separate road, just for bikes? Or better yet, tunnels! Like subways, just for bikes! Tunnels all over the country, everywhere a bike rider wants to go! national parks, state parks, no more mountain bikes destroying hill and mountainsides and forests, because they will be underground! Under cities, your backyard, special tunnel bridges over rivers. Imagine the safety this tiny little $5 trillion expense would produce! We could even paint them white and landscape around them!


Or, and I know you’ll have to really think about it, how about bicycles riders start fully obeying traffic laws?

A separate bike route through the vineyards would be safe, cost effective and a great idea! However, it seems a bit early to judge the bike rider when it easily could have been caused by the wine guzzling tourist in their tin can not following the traffic rules.

Do you advocate the taking of private properties, just to appeal to a small community of recreational users?


How very socialist of you.

Let the bike riders fund such a road on their own dime. Not a single taxpayer dime for anymore ridiculous bike paths. NONE!


Signed,

Tapped out SLOC taxpayers
