What does /n/ think of tomorrow's upgraded, more inclusive bike lanes? Cagetrolls will hate this, but I for one think it is perfectly reasonable for bike lanes to be open to any vehicle that doesn't have an ICE or require a Class A CDL to operate legally. What's the point of bike lanes if nobody is going to use them!??!?

If it's "good enough" for cyclists, it's good enough for a 500 lb electric vehicle traveling 20 mph.

Actually 500lb refers to the load capacity. The bicycle and the cyclist are measured separately.

So what else? The fuckhuge size of the delivery vans causes safety issues by blocking sight lines, sometimes they even block visibility of stop signs. I almost got t-boned by an suv at full speed because a stupid delivery truck's only parking spot was right at the corner of an intersection, blocking visibility and a stop sign.

Multimodal, mixed-use streets are the past and the future. Segregating different transportation to different lanes is always going to not only piss people off but also be a shitty use of space.

This dumbassery is a result of the cognitive dissonance that happens when complete streets buffoons come into contact with limited space and new modes of transport that don't meet system requirements. You either make shit like these golf carts illegal or categorize them with bikes, which are obviously totally different.

Just do away with all lanes and make the road into an environment where parking is prohibited everywhere regardless of the reason, slow vehicles keep left, lower speed limits and blend all traffic together.

This sounds chaotic but it works well in practice.

I've been ruminating on that idea too. Instead of full separation, use modal filtering to create designs that encourage traffic to move at a gradient of speeds for each lane.
>Slow-speed lane targeting at pedestrian-traffic and mobility devices, use textured surfaces and streetscaping to make it uncomfortable for bicycles to whip through at 20 km/h
>Mid-speed lane targeting bicycles, scooters, and possibly loading/unloading spaces, use barriers like planters at regular intervals to prevent car-size traffic from using it for passing
>Higher-speed vehicle lane, but still need to accommodate bicycles and other vehicles navigating around obstacles, create an unobstructed space about 2 NARROW lanes wide but without a central median line separating opposing directions
>Everything at the same grade, or at most very minimal sloped grading between them, so traffic in each zone can migrate to a slower/faster zone for momentary maneuvers like around an unloading vehicle or to allow emergency vehicles to pass
But I'm not confident enough in the concept to put it forward. For example, I strong feel you need a design-driven solution to prevent illegal parking, but I'm not sure what the design-based solution is to create a medium-speed lane that vehicles can momentarily duck into that can't or don't want to use for parking.

nta but they encourage cagers to think of roads in terms of "bike lanes" and "not for bike lanes" and consequently riders who venture outside of the gentrified urbanist meme neighborhoods are at increased risk because by implication they are riding where they're not allowed

bike lanes are an invention by cagers to tell people on bikes what they're allowed/not allowed to do, thus overstepping the laws as written and creating a vague and capricious system where the cyclist can more readily be blamed for his own death

bike lanes are anti bike and the people who push them are, willingly or not, working against the rights and safety of people who choose not to get around by car

There would be a lot of benefits to lowering speed limits down to like 20mph.
Way safer for everyone and vehicles can be much smaller and cheaper.
Different traffic types can intermix more easily and traffic management becomes simpler.

Sorry no. Bikes rarely if ever stop in the bike lane, I think I've seen it twice in my life and I live in the city. (These are not MUPs around a suburban lake)
Delivery shits will. Cars will.
I can see around EVERY cyclist no matter how fucking fat, even a VW Bug in the cycle lane would be a viability problem.

And this is entirely outside the lane users fault, but if a cager sees a car like thing in the bike lane, they're either gonna get in it to, or take it out and maybe me as collateral damage.

Lets talk about bullshit rides first as they are truly inferior.

Pic related is the Trike that was created for RYTLE and fucked up so royally that Amazon shitcanned the operations of that model.

So heavy and tipped over in turns in training with riders for the company....they lost a 25 million dollar startup contract and had 100 of them in a factory in NYC.....a buddy of mine was able to grab them afterwards for 100 on the condition that they would part them out and remove the paint from the frames as it was their patented color scheme on their trademark.

They could be designed so much better but they refuse to study basic elements of design that apply to the mass they are carrying as well as having to pedal in hills.

This was unable to be an efficient model to keep capacity of the operations of the company that they were working for.....

Imagining pedalling over 300 lbs empty and then loading it with another 200 - 300 lbs and having to move the whole thing at a pace to keep with traffic for hours....

Nearly God Like Powers are needed to operate a Work Bike as an enterprise.

I ran for years carrying passengers for rides as a bike taxi operator....but that was why i decided to move up and design a better working model that could weigh in at 80 lbs and be able to carry a 1000, but also climb insanely steep hills AND have a drivetrain with over 200 miles of a range on the Electric Motor and Battery kits.

The perfect Work Bike.....but there is all this commercial shit in the way of getting the idea to their company, but I will show you a little hint at what I am making.

I almost put a Torsen Differential in the rear of this model but then decided to test it out with an Open Differential this time because of the nature of the trike and its axles being specifically designed to spin free of the stress of the weight of the mass on the frame in cargo.....

So literally there is nothing but balanced roll achieved from the chainrings on the drivetrain. I even made it with a Torque Converter so that it was able to obtain a 140% leap in output.

So that there was a lot less applied to have to move the platform of the frame designed around it.

But its got pedals....you just can't stand up to pedal up hills.....

But its got a nice awning.....you just get hit with a windshield that acts like a parachute blocking your path

Imagine....keeps the lightest rain from hitting your body, but a wind comes up and drenches you from the side openings

It costs thousands more than they should, and works slower than a person jogging.

Has a small noise maker in the wheels so you can hear them coming....clunk clink clunk....all day long

Sounds efficient right....batteries die after 4-6 hours.

But you can plug and play when it recharges....

You think this is innovation, right Anon?

E-Drive has a list of advancements including the drivetrain components that allow it to keep pace on pedal power alone.

The E-Drive is able to propel it to 45mph and keep pace, with the pedal assist tuned with gearing that allows you to lightly press the pedals without straining all day, just to take pressure of resistance off the motor allowing it to flow smoother at a more efficient rate.

With these combinations added the Work Bike I designed is better able to keep pace with traffic.

This means that it does not need the bike lanes and will be able to operate in them as well when they are available to skip around traffic.....it has a smaller footprint and a larger capacity than these shit box rollers that weigh about 300 to 400 lbs empty and allows for more weight to be carried than any of the other models.

This is the second generation design, with a torque converter and open differential in the drivetrain.

The first generation was made into a form of "tweeny" without the differential....on one wheel drive alone, there was little resistance in the drivetrain, and it was able to carry two people on the rear uphill using bodyweight alone with the derraileur disabled and the chain line setting the selection of the gears in 2nd up from the smallest ring.....so this thing can shred hills.

The test runs were made up a hill that is about set at a 10 to 13 degree pitch and carried weight and maintained stability at speeds with the maneuverability that is unseen in any model of pedicab.

It was designed to carry massive loads of up to 6 people if needed.

The one wheel drive model was modded with a ground up drivetrain and E-Drive bolt-on kit, that was made specifically for the frame, which includes a more rigid fork and triple crown reinforcement.

It has the same power as a SurRon but has a better powerband in the throttle that allows for more amp power to be delivered at lower speeds and a smoother high speed design meant to save power use.

Bike lanes like this were designed to kill and maim as many bike users as possible. Shitting them up further may be better for cycling safety. Also, while corporations may think that killing a couple cyclists will give them free use of the bike lane infrastructure, they'd still have to deal with cars parking on bike lanes and turning over them without looking. I don't think they know what they're getting into.

Fuck UPS as a corporation, but they're based for doing this.
Bike lanes are terrible infrastructure that takes away an entire extra lane of parking or turning from cars, the actual way to get around.
Biking is a leisure activity or a thing children do. It's fun, no doubt, but they don't belong on main roads. Either build a separate bike path or put the bike on your car. For transit options and to limit traffic, we should be funding and building heavy rail instead. Riding the S-bahn clone to the department should be normal, if you don't need to drive to carry home a big screen TV or something.

Besides the intrinsic danger the combination of motorised traffic and bike lanes pose theres added issues with planning of those always being absolutely brain dead and the laws regarding bike lanes being incomplete, illogical and lacking. Just like the 'infrastructure' itself.
Bike lanes are made by and advocated for by cagers. still they'll try even harder running people over that do use them.

This is a great idea. We have an extensive bike lane network in my city that is underutilized. Allowing smaller low speed vehicles would help reduce traffic and pay for the bike infrastructure. Wouldn't mind one day these smaller lanes eventually make up the majority of lanes in the city.

Look at this garbage. This poster can imagine a world where banning all the cars is possible, but they still can't imagine a world where bikes can simply be operated on any convenient roads based on the requirements of the journey and not what some yimby karen has specifically deemed acceptable in some asinine "city planning" document.

Even when they propose what they take to be "extreme pro-bike" takes, they never stop pushing the cager mentality which is that roads ARE for cars, and ONLY for cars, *even if all the cars are magically deleted from the universe*.

Bike lane cultists have such a profound case of cagebrain it makes me dry heave. John Forester was right.

I think in an ideal society, this wouldn't be necessary because driving in a box truck would be so efficient from not having traffic.
That being said, there's still room for small, just-in-time deliveries using bikes. As long as there aren't too many of these at the wrong times, I don't see too many problems occurring.

Reminder that the even if these come out, it's two steps in the right direction. Safety increases as mass and speed decreases. Unfortunately we stepped over kei car utopia, but maybe we still have a chance to revert back later.

That sounds an awful like a solution that needs a problem and cargo bicycles are just aren't practical for most deliveries. If the front is the ONLY access for such deliveries (no alleys), then likely a good solution would be building some sort of shared truck bays. You know...like malls.

Of course, you don't want make things so inconvenient that businesses pack up anyway. That defeats the purpose.

That cargo bike definitely isn't going to be mounting the curb to park. The fucking fenders are lower than the curb height! And if it's a protected bike lane with its own curb, then it can't park in the vehicle parking lane either.
The drivers are just going to stop directly in the lane and hop out to make their delivery. You are essentially sanctioning a class of vehicle to park freely in bike lanes.

>without an ice
Batteries have 92 times less energy density. If you want bicycles to take over you have two problems to solve:


1. Human power equivalency.

Grandma, and girls have no pride of getting where they need to go under their own strength. If you could standardize batteries, and find a way to not have all the money go to china....but you can't, so bolt on micro engines for any bike are the answer. Once people have experience of paying 3 dollars to go the same places as same 30 dollars as their 3 empty seat car.....cycling has won. And front trike with car ride height. Preferable with 3 feet wider on each side of the riders shoulders, so if a car clips them, absolute proof of unsafe passing.

As so much of this board is beta try hard clawing at being a man by cycling far who step on their own dick by not realizing they could still get sweaty using the same hyper bike friendly/finally cars banned infrastructure, we will never get anywhere.


2. Equal OR BETTER, crash worthiness of a car.

That means front trike so something 6 feet tall isn't suddenly 6 feet wide and 2 feet tall when it's hit from behind and become a speed bump. And equal eye space visibility of a car OR BETTER. So wide as a car as viewed from the back. Hi-vis colors, 7 feet wide so not murderous cager can weasel out of responsibility when they intentional ram it, and we bring back the death penalty in all 50 states for ONLY this crime.

You are welcome.

How about instead of treating bikes like cars they treat bikes like fast pedestrians and instead make extra wide sidewalks, special walk paths, and fast lanes on sidewalks for human powered wheeled devices.

Trying to shove cars and bikes together and put more car like things in the bike infrastructure is fucking retarded.
Meanwhile places made for pedestrians tend to operate just fine with bikes without anyone getting seriously hurt or dying ever. Bikes aren't realistically a threat to pedestrians. Cars are a fatal threat to bikes.

It seems so fucking obvious to me yet all momentum seems to put cars and bikes together as much as possible in one way or another.

Also no, that "supersized cargo bike" is basically just a motorized vehicle built around legal loop holes to gain tax credits. It's not a bike and it's not viable as a motor vehicle. Its a abomination not actually fit for commercial use in the real world and is instead a bi-product of layers of bureaucracy.
No it shouldn't share bike infrastructure. It shouldn't exist at all in it's current form. Ether give it a proper motor to operate with cars in the streets or ditch the motor and operate with the humans on the walkways.

>not wanting to ride with several ton death machines and instead preferring to be safe/comfortable is anti-bike
Are you actually retarded?

Let me break this down, cars and bikes "shairing the road" causes thousands of deaths every year.
Bikes and pedestrians sharing walkways causes basically zero deaths.
If a truck fucks up and hits you on a bike you fucking die.
If a bike fucks up and hits a pedestrian then usually the injuries are relatively minor.
If two human powered devices collide it also is extremely rare for it to be fatal.

It not only is safer, but feels safer for cycleist and pedestrians to used shaired infustructure than bikes and trucks using the same infustructure.
So instead of forcing bikes to interact more and more with cars and treating bikes like cars it would be better to make upgraded totally separate infrastructure for non-motor vehicles and treating bikes as being more like pedestrians instead of being more like a car.

Do you not understand the logic I am laying down here?

Daily reminder that if urbanists and other anti-bike people *actually* did what they do in amsterdam (other than force everyone to ride garbage bikes that weigh 50 pounds and cost $5000) they push to give motorists an incentive not to kill people. But of course as know, the end game here is not to make cycling safer for the cyclist, it is to make cycling illegal outside of special hypergentrified "green zones". Roads for the cars, children's play paths for the kids on their toys, and forced helmets for everyone except the drunk guy in an F150. It made the Kushners a lot of money, and that's the urbanist way

Imagine being the pussy bikers in this city that won't even slash the tires of cars that park in the bike lane.
If you can't even defend what's yours you don't deserve it. Clearly this city doesn't even have bikers and it's just some liberal stuck up his own ass that pushed it through

Yes, so logically cars should not be allowed on the road. I'm glad we agree.

That's the neat part, you don't.
Drivers respect other vehicles proportionate to the amount of bodily harm those vehicles would inflict on them.
Just ask motorcyclists.

It only works FOR KNOW, while the majority of population is destitute.
Just 20 years ago, the whole of Vietnam rode bicycles. Nowadays, everyone rides motorcycles already. And although most of the roads in Vietnam are not designed for cars, some retards still go into debt to buy a cage just to spend twice as much time on the road. And they buy huge SUVs, not something compact. A single SUV creates a traffic jam out of nothing, just when it needs to turn around or park.
The Vietnamese don't care about comfort, ecology or anything else. The only thing they care about is showing off. If they don't all drive huge SUVs, it's not because they like bikes - no. They just don't have the money for a bucket of nuts yet.

A good example would be Japan

Im not to sure about the motorcycle thing. I agree with you that the cagers seem to be predominately concerned with damage to their glorified mobility scooter over everything else. But I also am under the impression that the motorist discrimminates on the basis of motorized or not (just like I do when judging people).
I will give an example: 2 lane residential road. Vehicles are parked up on one lane. The other remains free. Cager is coming in the direction that is parked up. Someone is going in the direction that is free. They have the right of way. Oncoming traffic has to wait for the adjacent lane to be free so it can be used to avoud the parked cars. The law does not provide for splitting the free lane.
Now if the vehicle on the free lane is a cripplecage the other cager will wait. This is expected.
If it is a motorcycle, comparable in dimensions to a bicycle, in my experience the cager will wait.
If it is a bicycle the cager will not wait but instead move over into the cyclists lane, thus violafing the right of way and expect the cyclist to make way as needed.
I want to add that it could be argued that cyclists themselves have a part in this as if the roles were reversed often the cyclist can be seen to choose to pass the parked cars, not necessarily on the oncoming lane but on whatever is left free of their lane. The cager might conclude that this is normal and all cyclists choose this situation. But this is not a valid generalisation and also it is a choice the cyclist makes case by case and it is the cyclist risking their physical integrity and jeopardizing their legal situation if they do so. That is not to be compared with the cager risking someone elses healthy while putting themselves in jeopardy.

You only need 1 m to pass a bicycle. You need a full lane to pass any other vehicle. Given that, I can see why vehicles arenโ€™t going to yield appropriately to the oncoming bicycle.

Your observation is purely geometric and also misses the point I've made comparing the cagers discrimmination between oncoming motorcycles and bicycles, which are geometrically comparable.
Public roads are subject to specific laws in all modern jurisdictions. Those laws always contain the fiction that a vehicle occupies the lane it is travelling on along its entire length plus appropiate safety distance infront and behind. This is regardless of the width of the vehicle. A vehicle traveling on a lane also has the right if way on said lane. Other road users wishing to use said lane will have to exercise patience until the lane is free for them to use. One lane one vehicle. Simple as.

Yes, but itโ€™s codified that we get to treat them differently when it comes to passing.

Bicycles are just too slow to be treated as a proper vehicle, much like scooters and can't be expected to maneuver in traffic so they're relegated to the right side of the right lane. It's the same reason as why vehicles that can't go faster than 40mph aren't supposed to go on highways. This applies to horse carriages too, iykyk from living in a country with gypsies.

If it has power itโ€™s not a bicycle, itโ€™s a motorcycle. Pedal assist, old two stroke mopeds, e-bikes, all motorcycles.
