88th Surfman Award: Proper Bike Lanes in NY

How civilized my fellow cyclist...bike lane, then parking lane and than car lane, not the usual parking lane, then bike lane (if there even is one) that often gets taken over by parking lane and car lane. Our elected representatives on Toronto city council could really learn a thing or two from New York and European cities for that matter. Come on people, how hard is it to make things safer for cyclists and car drivers, make the new lanes separate - end of story. At least think about it? Ah, dare to dream of a new utopia in hog town where cyclist are respected for their contributions to the environment and to the city in general.
