Well the huge signs saying no cyclist, pedestrians etc is probably a decoration....I pass cyclists on the highway shoulder wondering if they are mad people or have alot of faith in the motorists...is there a charge for this tho and if so why is it not enforced on the cyclists?Pointman-IA wrote:The question is going to be asked : Are cyclists allowed on the highway?

The truth is many cyclists are members of the 1 and 2% fraternity and therefore, expect changes which will grant them more rights to a road and major highways soon.

We better eliminate sidewalks to allow extra lanes for cars

Cyling to work in Europe and in Trinidad is two different kettle of fish. Here its 30+ degrees celcius in the mornings and higher during the day coupled with high humidity. Cyling to work becomes impractical unless you going to shower and change in work.foots wrote:pugboy wrote:With arguments like that

Great idea. It is what we have been doing in Trinidad for decades. Building more roads and getting the same or worse traffic. Traffic jams by their nature impose a very low speed limit on cars, thus making it relatively safer to ride a bike around.
All over the world, cities are realising that putting everyone in a private car is just a great way to make it harder for everyone (particularly motorists) to move around. Hence bike lanes begin popping up.
