The other problem with bike paths is when they meet road crossings the cars
coming from the side don't stop at the bike path but pull out to the road looking
for oncoming traffic and don't even see the cyclist coming down the bike path.
Give me the road or a road with a bike lane any day. Here in Fl any new or
improved State roads are required to have a bike lane.
