An interesting article on Vehicular Cycling vs bike lanes/sharrows/infrastructure. One of the commenters nails it, in my opinion, by saying that vehicular cycling makes a bad policy but an excellent style of riding to aspire to. I am a fairly fearless vehicular cyclist when I'm riding -- my commute takes me over an overpass right here on McGrath/O'Brien, because it's faster, the lanes are wider, and for me it feels safer than zooming past all of those parked cars -- but I love me some bike lanes and sharrows on highly-biked roads. Trying to convince casual cyclists that all they need is to learn to bike JUST LIKE ME is narrow-minded and discouraging.
