Perhaps this is a bit of a strange moment for a new user to jump into the conversation.

If you don't mind, I'd like to aim a bit for the middle-ground here.

There are some pretty vocal individuals fighting for more bike lanes whom are very confrontational and nasty. They have an air of ignorance and are quite unwilling to compromise. They usually tend to tie it into the political as well.

I understand that hearing these people, and having to deal with these bike lanes that are seeming overpriced and underused is frustrating; and the negative attitudes toward them is completely valid.

I personally do believe that bike lanes could benefit the city. I think that having a safe option would be awesome.
