    Yes, a bike is a car and should be treated like one. I’m tired of assholes like you yelling ‘get off the road’ or telling me to endanger pedestrians by riding in the sidewalk or mixed use trail or the door lane or the bicycle gutter.

    What we need is normal roads with barriers blocking off cars from entering.

    Bikes are cars. Treat us like them.

      Bikes are cars.

      So pedestrians only on these roads? Like a sidewalk?

      Or are you saying bikes should be treated JUST like cars, except better, with routes that exclude cars?

      It sounds like what you want is separated, protected, raised bicycle lanes.

      And I’m no fan of rising on the sidewalks, but cycling is literally one of the uses for a mixed use trail.
