Sounds like a great idea. Get more of them killed and less to contend with on the roads ;)

Anything to get them off the sidewalks, I am in support of.

Why are operators of heavy machinery so insistent on being half-wits?

@Craig Hammersmith  ... what idiots would deliberately ride their bikes among half-wits operating heavy machinery?

Why are bicyclists so insistent on riding amongst heavy machinery? Seems kinda counter productive. Let's ride next to all of these motorized vehicles and breathe in that pollution! What a fantastic way to exercise!!

When you take into consideration how poorly people drive today, and then factor in distracted driving from cell phones and texting, putting bikes and cars even closer together is an absolutely recipe for death and destruction on the roadways. The only safe place for bikes today is on the sidewalk. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. I know people want to be able to ride their bikes where ever they want to, but they need to seriously ask themselves this one all important question: Is it worth dying over? Probably not.

I agree, Michael. Especially when the majority of people on bikes think they own the road.

If there is going to be a bike lane anywhere, it should be on the sidewalk. Putting more bikes out into traffic is nothing more than a good way to get more people killed on bikes. Mixing cars and bikes in the same place is a very bad idea.
