I鈥檝e noticed some new yellow signs in 性视界传媒. They say 鈥淪hare the Road鈥� and show a bike rider in front of a motor vehicle. As a bike rider, I鈥檓 wondering if this is the city鈥檚 way of avoiding creating bike lanes as a way of 鈥済oing more green.鈥�  

If these signs are supposed to give me a sense of safety, then I am afraid that is not going to happen. I think these signs are a waste of time and money and I would even go further and say they are insulting. I can鈥檛 think of any driver who would patiently drive behind a bike going 10 km/h.

I ride in bike lanes, if there are any on my route, but I find the streets in 性视界传媒 are lacking bike lanes. I ride on sidewalks when there are no bike lanes, and that is the only way I am going to feel safe.

As new roads are paved, bike lanes are included and I hope that one day people will be able to ride continuously on the road, safely, in designated bike lanes. If our city truly wants to encourage 鈥済reen鈥� alternatives to transportation, then sidewalks or bike lanes must be made available to riders.
