   This is construction for the sake of construction, not to satisfy a need, but   
   to satisfy their own need for corruption.   
      
   I've never seen any public official riding on the bike facilities that they   
   approve. Such facilities pop up around blind curves, and then mysteriously   
   disappear. Perhaps a good metaphor of how money itself disappears without   
   practical improvements. That'   
   s a mystery.   
      
   Google maps list "bike friendly" roads that are far from safe. Somebody   
   reported to Google that they were safe without ever trying it themselves.   
      
   Taking the lane would be safer while avoiding or justifying more bike   
   facilities that are anything but safe. I'll be taking a gamble myself on less   
   busy streets in the poorer areas where traffic lanes are blurred and drivers   
   --hopefully-- are less    
   aggressive.   
      
   Taming bullies on busy streets is beyond my capabilities. All I can do is   
   describe it properly: THE JUNGLE.
