How to Make Your Own Bike Lane

Dacid is right, page is just one block away. I mean I wouldn't mind seeing bike lanes everywhere and to have traffic slowed on well traveled streets, but I think there are some more worthwhile battles out there to be fought, like allowing cyclists to react to stop signs as yield signs and red lights like stop signs. Actually, if you guys painted a lane on the bay bridge that would help tremendously as well.

Oak street is steep and not convenient to ride on at all. Too many cars.

so this is illegal...

i'm not certain how this helps the cause, really.

Cyclists are voting with their wheels, Oak is the most convenient street to ride on. They shouldn't be relegated to designated routes that are less convenient and make them go out of their way.

All streets need to be made safer not only for cyclists but also for pedestrians and the motorists themselves.

Riding over one block isn't a big deal--we're cyclists and we're not lazy.

I really do think that right now the bike movement needs to stay focused on realistic goals. I think painting this on the Oak does not articulate your points at all. It really just serves to reinforce the notion to your average driver that SF cyclists are not willing to work with them.

The goal here should be to win cooperation and support from those not-yet-convinced. This does the exact opposite through division.

The city spends way too much time and money installing any kind of infrastructure. This was done in 1/2 hour and cost under $10.

The city plans to install the bike plan projects at the rate of thousands of dollars a block over 3-5 years after a 3 year moratorium. You call that a cooperative democratic process?

Why Oak St? Page is one block over and it is already a bike route. Might as well paint the 101....I think this hurts the plight of cyclists further because it it not done in the spirit of cooperation, or even basic logic.

BTW, this is coming from another bike commuter.

Now lobying for speed bumps and no stop signs on Page would be worthwhile.

Fight the good fight and remember that we need to appeal to a broad base to make real change in San Francisco.

Oak St. (b/w Baker & Scott) because it's the most direct connection from the Panhandle to the Wiggle. Going up Baker from the Panhandle to Page is a huge bitch... there should be a bike lane on Oak on these blocks, just like on Fell.

At least - there should at LEAST be a bike lane there.
