It really doesn't matter what a bunch of whiners claim. Bikes are going to increase in use, and local, state and federal agencies will find more ways to encourage it.

The reality is, we have a demand that is quicky exceeding the capacity of our road system. If the projected growth is correct, Some of you are going to be spending many weeks per year sitting in your car and it won't be because of a bike. Google it. What Seattle wants to do is not much different than most metro areas.

Besides all that, bikes are FISH FRIENDLY and cars/pickups are not.
