So we've learned that SG is a tweaker riding a stolen bike and dodging cars that are trying to take him out. Do you have a bell and basket? Pee Wee Herman road a bike every where..... just saying.
Even cramming people onto buses ceases to be a solution if we are reducing lanes. Until they fix the true problem which is the I-5 bottle neck and on/off ramps on both sides of the freeway there is no solution other than feel good stuff.
Hey, I resent that remark! I've never used meth, and none of my bikes are stolen. Nor do I have a bell or basket, but I do have panniers for my mountain bike for a stealth steelheading trip I've been planning. Nor do I dodge many cars, believing as I do that effective cycling means riding responsibly by following traffic laws.
No argument that I-5 has a vicious bottleneck, but thinking it's possible to build our way out of urban traffic congestion strongly indicates that you're not up to speed on the subject. WA could raise the state gas tax by $1.00 a gallon, and it wouldn't be enough additional money to eliminate traffic congestion. You could take the Click & Clack approach and advocate completely paving America, so that you can ostensibly drive anywhere, anytime, ala Fish Prince, but if everything is paved, then there is no where to go that is worth going. Just saying . . .
