Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Bicycle Lanes on Parkway Msg# 1226440

Let's face it, bikers are like pickleballers, never satisfied.
Plus they're bike snobs. Here's all you need in OP bike wise. It's got fenders and a rear rack which will come in handy when the loonies finally get their way and bomb Iran, causing $30 gas. So you can put some boxes on the back and pedal to food lion for milk and toilet paper. No hills here so ixnay on the derailleur. Note- it's on sale $50 off 9 months a year so don't pay $300. As for dedicated bike lanes, it makes no difference how wide they are cause they are just mere suggestions anyway to the typical driver. Same as speed limits. I cross the "Sussky" river when commuting to OP and I have yet to figure out how a biker would get to the other side other than building a raft and poling it across. The rte 1 bridge is too narrow by the turbines. Rte 95 - no bikes allowed. The rte 40 bridge in Havre de Grace has a bike lane that only a person w a death wish would use and I have never seen anyone try it. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I'm not a Civil Engineer but to comply with Maryland law the roadway would probably need an additional eight feet minimum? I don’t believe that is correct. A four-foot bicycle lane is possible. It will require narrowing the existing lined motor vehicle lane by around two feet and police-enforced no-parking regulations on the Parkway, along with a reduction of the speed limit to 30 mph. Will the Board vote for that? I have my doubts. |
