Where's the Bike Lane?

RECEIVED Wed., Dec. 12, 2012

Dear Editor,
    I would like to respond to George Bronner's letter ["Bicycle Riders Should Have Better Manners," "Postmarks," Dec. 7] from last week's paper: I know exactly how you felt! I have been in that situation myself a number of times, and I am sure we were thinking the same thing: where is the goddamned bike lane! When the city rebuilt Riverside through Butler Park, they blew a golden opportunity to reduce friction between drivers and cyclists, and sharing that stretch of road sucks. I find sharing the road in general to be stressful and frustrating – that's why I always try to drive on roads with bike lanes; they are so much better. All you road users, keep it cool out there!
