@Different
First off, I want to apologize to you and everyone else for my terrible response that was completely uncalled for. I saw a little of your reply this morning, and thought, "Yeah, I am stupid." I should not have attacked you personally, as well as not going with the ultra sarcasm route. Most of what I said were strawman's where I was going way overboard with the emotion in my responses. Essentially, I was accumulating a laundry list of fallacies that totally made me look like an idiot. To be fully transparent, I originally edited my post when I first posted it. The sentence, "You obviously do not know anything..." was originally, "You do not know shit..." which makes me look even worse. I definitely deserve all the ridicule from it. Yes, I disagree with you (reading some of this over and future responses, it seems we may be in some agreement about stuff, though), however my response was inappropriate.
I will get back to you and @Master Raiden later when I have more time to write a complete and competent response (hopefully by tomorrow, since tonight is not the best to sit down and form a response). I feel like this thread will turn into a tangent of city design in general and not just "Bike Lanes." For reporting bias, I am a cyclist (despite not cycling as much as I should, lol), so you know where my opinion comes from.
