Is it Viable to have "Bike" only Lanes???

[Sniper]

Im never silly...... see, this is my serious face.

Just a bit of lateral thinking. If us as bikers rally for more roads, I wonder how much extra tax on petrol the Govt will put on for us. Fuckers

[Marmoot]

Are we ? I have been trying to find a definitive answer to that. My impression was that we were not allowed to.

Yes. And if you're scared, pop in to Auckland City Council building and get a leaflet detailing it (available over the counter). Keep it in your bike storage to show anybody who says otherwise.


I'm not talking about Motorway bus lanes, though.

And I'm not talking about narrow bicycle lanes that snake around pedestrian footpath either

I'm presuming you mean the ones about 2 foot wide , along the road edge? Like on Tamaki Drive ?

The ones on the road you can use. The ones raised about 5-10cm above road surface (and full of scantily-clad beautiful ladies on roller blades........damn, they're sexy) you can't use on bike. Ah foog that, you can't use! Only I can use!

Cagers wouldn't see its a bike lane and drive on it anyway

Hey Fellows, just wanted to vent my frustrations on Auckland traffic, the infrastructure is obsolete, comparing to Europe we don't even have a fucking subway making us look like third world country....
and if bikes continue to "split lanes" with cages it's just gonna cause more collisions and eventually someone will do something, but it's better to be preventive then reactive..... I rode 150cc scooters in Asia for years and they all had bike only lanes, accidents are rare and if it happens it'd be a scratch and graze as oppose to getting hit by a cage you might die...
What the fuck they spend our tax and fuel tax and fucking acc levy not to mention the registration fee on anyways...... build more buslanes?? more lanes just cause more congestion more fuckers want to take cars to work and more pollution......
Excuse my language this is not aimed at yall!!...

This gets up hackels up a bit and one thing that pisses me off is when they say NZ doesn't have this or doesn't have that.

Move somewhere else that does if you don't like it.

Yea, man. Agree on that.
I'm tired of someone saying NZ is not this is not that. Move to somewhere else if you don't like.

I'm really tired of this whinging in New Zealand. In my previous country nobody whinges and protest the government like this. This country is appaling

err....not that I whine.......

[Beemer]

And in reality, it still wouldn't stop cage drivers in them

That's what I was meaning, not that bikes could go faster in the dedicated lanes, more than car drivers would use them too!
