The Economics of Bike Lanes

Cyclists don't just conflict with cars, they conflict with Pedestrians.

I've been hit by cyclists more than once. (And OK, I hit a pedestrian when I was riding a bike back when I was a teenager too.)

Walking in L.A. I experience near-misses with cyclists riding illegally on the sidewalk about as often as I experience near-misses from people running red lights when I'm in a car.

I guess there are not enough bike lanes?

I had a friend in college hit by a bike while he was walking on the sidewalk. There was a clear area for the biker to ride other than the sidewalk. Serious recovery time was required (almost blew his whole semester).
