USA Today has a very poorly written, short-sighted, one-sided article regarding Long Beach’s Green Lanes in Belmont Shore. You should write a letter.
Some of the highlights:
“Even though cars were whizzing by at 30 miles an hour yesterday, bikes were free to ride right in their path.”
“To put them out in traffic is just stupid.”
Be sure to check out Russ Roca’s video of riding the Green Lanes, where it takes him 7 minutes to go about 1/2 mile. Are bikes slowing cars down, or are the cars slowing the bikes down? You decide.
