It is truly ridiculous. And I think the roads they're talking about using are not quiet residential streets, so even if cyclists use them there will not be any pedestrians on them.

The Moco Planning Council has been on my s%$t list for a while. Now that the ICC's been approved, it's likely that they're going ahead with the M-83 project, which is a 4-6 lane continuance of Mid-County Highway that's intended to connect the ICC to the new developments in Clarksburg. One of the routes under consideration will run on top of a creek between my condo complex and Montgomery Village Elementary School. It will then cross the Seneca Greenway not once, not twice, but three times on its way up to Clarksburg. How's that for environmental impact? And, there's been some mention of a bike path to go along with it, but you have to look really hard to find any details on that part of the plan.
Between the ICC and the M-83, I'm starting to consider moving out with Zen."How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Now that's a loaded question if I've ever heard one... Originally Posted by malkin
