Courtesty for bicyclists?

Like they give drivers when they get to a traffic light or stopsign and just blow through it?

Or ride 2 or more abrest when they are supposed to ride single file?

Or like they give to pedestrians when they fly by on the sidewalks at 20 mph?

We must create a culture of respect. I went to Denver and Phoenix, and it is incredible the respect for drivers and cyclist in the area. They have every cyclist lane perfectly delimited and the city modified its streets in order to accomodate effciently both car and bicyle transit.
We must understand with rising prices of gas the bicycle user will probably increment in the short/medium term. It is imperative that the city facilitates the infrastructure. Better signalling, more bicyle lanes and more law enforcement (Both ways). If a car is agressive against bikes then he should be warn. The same goes for bikers. If the cross on a red light they should be warned or ticketed...
I don't believe the attitude of the person befor is the right attitude. Everything is about seeking a solution and not critizising without any value added.

If you listen to my comments, I stated that cyclists are also the worst offenders. The problem is that we have no common way of treating eachother. There is no accommodation in this city for the bicycle. there are no bike lanes to obey. Why should a rider on a two lane road in coral springs not be able to riode side by side with another rider? Bikes are on the sidewalks because there is no accommodation for them in the streets! You need to fault roller bladers and pwople with dogs on long leashes more than the cyclists on our sidewalks! You are turning this into a shooting match and that was not why i spoke to the commission. I merely want the laws obeyed and more accommodation for a growing transportation modality in our city. Lives will be lost if we don't try!

Hey Mark, thank you for speaking for all cyclists at the meeting. I have recently taken to commuting to work by bicycle, traveling from Coral Springs to Boca Raton 3-4 times a week. There are very few reasonable roads to travel along the way. The best roads along my route are actually in Boca Raton and Deerfield! And even they are not that great. Parkland will soon be taking the prize with the new bike lane they are installing along Holmberg. Shouldn't Coral Springs be leading in this area as well?

Another problem is when using a bike as a means of transportation - having a bike lane is wonderful but it needs to get you where you are going to. Too often the bike lanes will take you only part way there and then disappear when the road gets busiest! Sample Road has a bike lane, but as traffic builds as you near 441 - it disappears. This problem occurs often in South Florida making finding a safe cycling route from one place to another very difficult and at times impossible to find.
