Bike Lanes in Vancouver

City of Vancouver is going crazy about bike lanes in the city. People don't think it is enough to assign a lane on the road, they want concrete barriers between them and the cars. The City didn't stop there because plants are on top of the barriers.

Many Shop keepers are concern about how the bike lanes will affect their business because of the lack of parking along side their businesses. The barriers are also not so good for advertisment and deter people from walking there. The cycling advocate simply don't care that the proposal will affect the businesses in the downtown core and they just want to have what they want.

when I was walking down the road today, a cyclist was riding on the side walk. I told her that cycling lane was available for her to use across the street. She didn't say anything, but kept riding away. If cyclist can ignore the use of the cycling lanes, may be drivers should start driving on the cycling lanes.
