Time to Choose Between Bikes and Cars
RECEIVED Mon., Nov. 20, 2006
Dear Editor,
The city needs to place a long, concrete curb down the length of Shoal Creek Boulevard to separate the bike lanes from the car lanes. Every day I marvel at the double-wide bike lanes and wonder why the bikers don't appreciate their dedicated riding space. Instead, they ride directly on the white line, forcing all drivers into oncoming traffic just to avoid them. When I'm not driving 10 mph, stuck behind them, I'm trying my best to avoid not squishing them with my car. Time to choose between the bikers and the cars, because it's not working having both.
