Wisconsin town wants to outlaw biking and walking

[The_Dude 1,142]

If runners and bikers are not following the rules then ticket them. Why create new laws when current one's are not being enforced?

This share the road stuff is pure #######. Fact is, bikes and runners can't maintain a pace that would allow traffic to flow. So you create bottlenecks everywhere.

Yep, it's quite annoying to be behind a bicyclist who insists on riding in the middle of the lane during rush hour. It pretty much slows everything to a crawl. Also, motorists in that lane are all trying to squeeze into the next lane to pass.

In Anchorage they cut across traffic when your in a four lane making a corner. They are a total hazard. Every time I read about one getting ran over it's like' "yay".

Uhhh, that's a bit much. Don't you think?

until the oil runs out fatty.

You know, in the seventies, they told us gullible schoolchidren that the oil would run out by 2010 and we went home and screamed at our elders that they were wasting our future...

2011....the children are still screaming the same thing....

But...never listen to anyone over 30...they are stoopid.

It's difficult to feel any sympathy for them when they shoved the bike path agenda down everyone's throat costing god only knows how much tax payer dollars to build and maintain. They have those bike paths all over Anchorage yet they choose to use the road like they are a car or something yet they cheat the rules even then. Every less bicyclist rider on the road is a small victory drivers who actually pay taxes to maintain said roads.

Bicycle riders think they own the road i was cut off by one and i honked at him then give him my middle finger.

A bike path agenda does not have as much value as a human life. Regardless of whether you disagree with them or not, wishing them physical harm is pretty sick.

If they stuck to the paved bike paths that everyone pays for with their tax dollars they wouldn't have to worry about getting run over. I think it's natures way of using a kind of selective process to sort them out...like a defective Caribou or something.

Interstate highways restrict pedestrians and motorized vehicles for public safety concerns Danno. I wonder if you would be so understanding of local standards if a town decided that it was closing its roads to motor traffic.

if it is deemed safer to be on the freeway with a bike in CA, it is okay to ride on the shoulder.

also, it makes no sense at all for someone on a bike to stop at all stop lights and stop signs like cars do. the law, if strictly enforce says otherwise, but that just because the laws they write has to be all or nothing and in the case of a bike, all or nothing doesn't make sense.

Run em over and it's problem solved. If they don't want to stick to the paved bike trails that are built and maintained with tax payer money let them learn the hard way until the get a clue.

Roads are for cars, hence the reason it's auto mobile owners that pay that road tax.

that is great tough talk, but fact is CA has lots of bikes on the road and when a vehicle hits one, the driver usually pays the price in a huge way (no matter the state) so go ahead, run them over.

Funny, but still sick.
