Path widening often is required as conflicts about active transportation modes (walk, run, cycle commute, scooter, sports cycle). Standard is about 20 feet wide, line painted down the middle. Last time I checked they cost about 10x less per metre than car roads to build.
Yes. It's what we did, now the next generation- even faster.
Grandchild got first bike (strider) at age 2. Now 6 months later "I balancing" as I try to keep up, and follow all the instructions she gives me.

Separate paths and protected lanes from car drivers is the answer. The problem is cities leave bikes in limbo, lost between walking and driving.

Seeing this from afar, it's trying to legislate permissable degrees of assholery undifferented from threat.

Nichts Amerikanisches. Keine Reisen, keine Produkte, nur alles, was damit zu tun hat.
„ Tit-for-tat “ Wenn sie sich benehmen, beobachten wir genau, ob es anhält. Wenn nicht, brechen wir alles wieder ab. Es ist wie Hundeerziehung.
Stop listing dates in American format of mm/dd/yy e.g. 11/01/26 is 11 Jan 2026 or 11 Nov 2026? No one else knows what you mean. dd/mm/yyyy is what the world does.
