I had an epiphany while showering tonight. It could possibly cure many of our nations problems. 1. Take 1/3 of current roadway lanes and turn them into bicycle lanes. This would allow safe cycling, help with obesity, and cut down on motor vehicle accidents and help us not be dependent on oil 2. Take the 2nd third and turn them into motorcycle/scooter lanes. This would allow folks to perform medium sized commutes and trips more safely on two wheels. It would also help with oil dependecy. 3. Leave the last 1/3 for long distance commuters, construction vehicles, and emergency vehicles. This would allow those that need trucks to perform their jobs the ability. In the end there are huge benefits. If it is not fun to drive people wouldnt drive as much reducing oil consumption, greenhouse gases, and making us healthier. The key factor is I believe this would create a huge influx in the number of small local businesses. I honestly dont see a downside. Bikes, scooters, and motorcycles can easily be modified to help the elderly, disabled, or people who cannot ride a two wheeler. Thoughts?
