    Gonna take a wild guess here and say that bikes are probably ok too. The stupid shit that tumbles out of the anti-car crowd is just comedy.

      Bikes get a 2000 bikes per hour throughout on a 1 meter (3 feet) wide lane. Cars can get about 1900 vehicles per hour on a regular lane. Give bikes the same space as you give cars and bikes move a lot more people.

              Its not bike friendly enough if you’d rather drive. There is a typhoon right now and its still more pleasant to casually motorbike through the city, at my own pace, completely unimpeded by traffic, looking for anything interesting, and park 3 feet from the entrance than to fuck with driving, slowing for traffic, pulling over to let someone pass because I’m not going fast enough, finding parking, walking through the rain and water streaming down the sidewalks.

          Don’t be a car driving nuisance, it smells and it’s loud. Not everyone wants to be around cars all the time.

        Since foot lanes have a higher capacity than car lanes, let’s permanently swap the space allocated to the two. Cars can drive on the sidewalk and people will walk on the road. If your car is too big to fit on the sidewalk you’ll just have to get out and walk.
