My city has built some bike lanes downtown within the past five years. They have physical dividers from the motorist lanes, so they are a bit safer than paint on asphalt.
Always hear baby-boomer types complain about them. My supervisor at work is all "waah why is the city spending my tax dollars on bike lanes when I don't drive bikes I drive cars and also I think they increase traffic?" I always love hearing people complain about how bad it is that tax dollars go to things that they don't personally make use of. Next time this guy goes on one of his rants about how class sizes are too big and public education is failing his kids, I should say "why are my TAX DOLLARS going to public schools when I don't even have kids? Grade-schoolers should start footing their own bills for learning shit instead of scrounging." |

Has anybody ever met anyone who uses the phrase "my tax dollars," and is fun to talk to?

sometimes i say i'd be willing to use my tax dollars to get someone the psychiatric help they need.
it's usually about hysterical self-victimizing talk-radio hosts. |

FWIW, bike accidents are a huge problem involving sober drivers too.

yes. it is incredibly dangerous for bicycles and cars to share lanes. people are just too stupid to do it correctly. There are a lot of bicyclists near where I work and I take a road through a park which is very very popular with bicyclists. The speed limit is 25 but people regularly do 50 mph, flying past cyclists, weaving far into the opposite lane... it's ridiculous, and there are NEVER cops around.
then on the other hand I've seen some bicyclists do really stupid shit. I saw a guy who had a pole attached to his bike which stretched almost the entire width of the lane specifically so he could not be passed by cars. Of course people were just veering into oncoming traffic to get around him. In a different area where the traffic is very very heavy, there is a bike path adjacent to the street and bicyclists still choose to ride in the street with motor vehicles |

also drunk driving is something I will truly never comprehend. I am terrified of driving after I have been drinking and count the hours since my last drink, etc.
