Letters: Misinformation, redundancy, and regret
Re: helping a trivial number Richard You do realize bicycles of some form have existed for around 200 years? Much longer than the automobile you seem to prize so much. Little hint, they're not going away either. Long after you and I are gone there will still be bikes ridden in this city. You cite only a "handful" of citizens use bikes and in comparison to cars that might be a fair estimate. So, why would you think the bicycle lobby has any more pull or impact than the auto industry?...Could it be that educated rational people from both major political parties are able to see the benefits of diversifying ones personal transportation to mitigate it's impact. Also, the most obvious reason, it's fun to ride a bike! A lot of San Diego citizens live here to get as much fun in their life's as possible, can you blame them (me). They often value projects that promote being outdoors doing active fun things more than building better roads and parking lots. Maybe our city is changing for the better, but you can't see it through that dirty windshield.... Chuck— March 16, 2016 7:07 a.m.
Bikers can take a hike
Seniors and non-traditional cyclist are seeing new options in E-bikes. If you're fit and alert enough to safely drive a car then a electric bike could be another option to look at.— March 5, 2016 6:17 a.m.
Bikers can take a hike
Quote: "I went to do my weekly shopping at Trader Joe's at the Uptown Plaza and after driving around for 20 minutes looking for an available parking space, I gave up and went over to Park Blvd. to Sprouts. I see cyclists coming and going everywhere with no problem finding a place to park and lock their bikes." Well, sounds like you're pointing out there are too many cars in San Diego for the infrastructure? Not sure where you propose we build the new parking lots either... A business in San Diego should not bank on city provided street parking for their survival. If you open a restaurant in little Italy without a parking lot then you've made a conscious risky choice in your business location. Besides the article doesn't mention if it's 2 parking spaces being lost or 100. Would that data affect anyone's opinion on this? Most cities the size of San Diego dedicate 30% of all available land mass to guess what, parking lots. All for cars that sit idle 95% of the time. Cyclist aren't really asking for much in comparison..— March 5, 2016 6:01 a.m.

Another option would be for Little Italy to embrace a big part of its sporting history and greatest athletes all while making itself more "Itallian" than any row of parked cars ever could...ok maybe if there were all Ferrari, Alfa, Maserati, etc. Interesting note...The oldest bicycle manufacturing company is Bianchi from Italy and they have been producing bikes for over 130 years. http://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/may/20/peda…— March 4, 2016 8:06 a.m.
