The tables on the road were only there for the inauguration day, but bike lane is here to stay.

Yes, my comment about a Gumby orgy was a serious, reactionary statement about people walking in bike lanes. And somehow an argument for giving cyclists priority on all streets when cars are no more. And a disregard for poor infrastructure.
People should walk where it's safe to walk. Sometimes they don't, which is less safe. There should be safe places for people to walk.
I'm still gonna yell at people who walk in the damn bike lane.
Not everyone's experience is the same. We live off a shared use paved trail that runs for 5.8 miles through our city. It's part of the 600 mile U.S. Bicycle Route (USBR) 45/45A and it's not safe to walk because of cyclists.
Cyclists regularly come from the rear at high speeds without announcing their presence. Often while people are walking their dogs on the part of the path that deviates through the park and along the river.
The world would be a nicer place if people showed a little more tolerance and patience toward each other.
If something I wrote is upsetting when taken out of context, you might want to put it back in. World might be a nicer place.
