what's it like to ride a bike whilst quadraplegic from MXE?
Actually its awesome to ride a bicycle under the influence of MXE, as long as its on a bicycle path woith no traffic and you pay very close attention.
I don't do it anymore because of risk but I have several times and it was awesauce.
Back when I had a stationary bike for training (gave it away to an old lady recovering from a spine injury) I pumped the pedals on MXE several times and at one point I managed to improve my sober distance by SEVEN TIMES.

In Holland we have special bicycle roads of red asphalt alongside the road for motorized vehicles.

You lazy Americas wait and see, PEAK OIL has happened, moving around by bicycle will become more asnd more common.
There are even electromotor assisted bicycles for old and lazy folks to add power to your pedaling.
We're starting to get those here too. Except they are painted green. They're good. They keep cyclists off the road and help keep things safer
We can barely even maintain existing roads. We aren't going to build roads for bikes.
We also maintain a country 20x your size. In alot of places cities don't have room on the road for 2 cars because the city is far older than vehicles, bikes included. In alot of rural areas the roads are dirt or gravel and single lane because the area needs a road but not badly enough for the government to invest $$ to have it paved.
Bike roads LOL
...I wish. Even if half the population biked we aren't going to remake our entire cities to fit in room for bike lanes, much less a separate road.
Which is probably why government made laws that you have to treat a cyclist like another vehicle. Which is annoying since they often don't follow those laws themselves.

Truth.
I think bike paths should be a local/municipal issue rather than a federal one as far as funding is concerned. Make cyclists pay a road tax or something to fund the bike paths.
I mean we have to pay fucking taxes for roads its only fair cyclists should pay for the bike paths

We don't really have bike paths - we have bike 'lanes', if you're lucky - otherwise you have to ride in traffic(which usually does not get about 30 or a standstill if you're out and about at rush hour).

Riding on the side walk is stupid, dangerous, and carries a 50 dollar fine so that's not an option.
That aside I don't fault anyone for wanting to bike here - I've been meaning to replace mine because it's a fantastic city to commute by bike in. It is an adjustment and an extra thing to look out for as a motorist, but quite frankly if you're choosing to drive in within Philadelphia the cyclists are going to be the least of your headaches.

given drivers tendencies, i'd say cycling on the road is more so stupid & dangerous.
cars are for retards.
there, i said it.
pollute the planet some more so you can take a commute to your piddling body-shuffler, for the day, and then back, all for nothin'. then, make effort to complain about other people's insufferable lives, and how they travel.
damn a city be so inefficient yo.

you. keep. missing. the. point. 
I am NOT having a go at nor do I have a problem with people who are using it FOR COMMUTING OR TRANSPORT. This is fine.
I take direct issue with the fucking cunts that use roads for their LEISURE/SPORT and ride in packs of fucking 50 on crowded roads. They are not commuting. They are engaging in a sporting activity. why this is allowed to disurpt traffic is beyond me. the argument of saving the planet does not apply to thm because they are not substituting transport, they are riding a fucking bike for shits and giggles and pissing everyone else off in the mean time. fuck them and i hope all their families die

You guys hear about Seattle dropping their speed limit from 25 down to 20/15mph in most of the city? Wonder how the congestion will be in the next couple of years.

sports cyclists on main roads is the same as a soccer team deciding to play soccer in the middle of a street and just demand people drive around them, it is literally no different.

or your driving down a country road at the posted speed limit, drive into a blind corner doing 100km/h, and all of a sudden are faced with 4 of them riding two abreast, forcing you to either slam your brakes and end up in a tree or drive around them into oncoming traffic.
theyre small, they can be hidden behind bushes. this has happened o me so many times and it is fucking infuriating they have no regard for anyone else but themselves

youve never seen Beaconsfield Parade on a weekday morning at peak hour
im not even talking about races. these packs of assholes will ride in big groups any time without there being an event on. it happens here all the time and there is constant public debate about it beause theyre so infamously fucking arrogant on the road and cause so many accidents and near misses.
but closing down roads for races whether it be car or bicycle is also fucking ludicrous. where my parents live there is a car rally that uses their road for a stage. there is one long stretch of road. this rally shuts it off and no vehicles in or out. theyre locked in or locked out of their home for 2 days. its pretty bullshit that they just have to either not work or be forced to sta somwhere else because some rich assholes want to fang their cars up and down their road for 2 days

This. Or you're on your bicycle and you're moving down the same road and they're riding two or three abreast and you can't pass them without telling them to move or putting yourself in danger of getting hit by a motorist who's following the law.
