Interesting cycling advocacy film

Yes, great video. The only diff between this and Seattle is there isn't as much on street loading in our bike lanes, but there's just as much stopping and dooring and traffic!

Those bicyclists; did you notice? they weren't going really fast. That's how come they didn't die when the taxi door opened!

I confess I watched the whole thing without sound; the premise, which is basically good; to move the bike lane to the other side of the parked cars (next to the sidewalk) is a great idea on streets with room. But i have a qualifyer for that one too. That means the bike is on the right,
away from cars and thus vulnerable just like it would be on the sidewalk. Of course, if all
traffic rules are obeyed (by the cyclist as well) nothing bad will happen, but it seems to me whenever you are pitting 2000 pound vehicles against 25 lb bikes, there are going to be problems.
