placing bike lanes by sidewalk, not outside of parking

No fun at all, being uptown Waterloo. Endless car-dooring chances. Traffic.

The sidewalks are choked with signage, if not pedestrians.

Bikes- the unwanted bastard child of walker and driver.

Not really though- they were the car version 1. Caused quite a stir in their day.

I don't consider cycling practical- not without supporting infrastructure.

Aside- studies say women prefer trails and other bike venues away from traffic.
