Dear Bikers

[dhbearguy]

As I said, no matter where the right turn is, there can be a car on bike action!


This morning at Gough and Market, the location you have to turn right in your car since you can't turn right at Octavia.

The politics of the city are such that if it's a *convenience* for drivers, it's bad. Everyone should be forced to bike and use Muni. This means 100K people have to move into the city, but this is no problem because rent-controlled affordable housing will spring up all over town, welcomed with open arms by those people who otherwise never saw a new building that wasn't a hazard to their carefully-crafted neighborhoods.

You should talk to my friend Julian who lives in London. They have taken the "if it's a *convenience* for drivers, it's bad" policy to ridiculous extremes (except of course for politicians - like those car lanes in Moscow for the Inner Party?) with so many speed bumps, traffic restrictions, traffic "calming" and erosion/expense of parking, that car journeys take as long as public transport. Which sucks if you have to carry around 200lbs/£20k worth of photographic equipment...
