I'm waiting for some bike lanes and/or paths to get put in in

Frank can feel free to pipe in any time he wants with his
controlling the lane spiel but there are absolutely NO
cyclists on this route doing that. *And as they add bike
lanes and paths more and more cyclists show up.


Hmm. How do you add bike lanes to roads that are "barely wide enough
for cars?"

Widening a road is one thing. Putting down a paint stripe is
another. The latter strategy adds no width, no room.
