NOLA City Council passes $300 minimum fine for bike lane violations

Ok guys it is not that hard.

Yes we have piss poor cyclist and piss poor drivers.

Yes I am a cyclist. A bike is the most beautiful mode of transportation. I ride a couple times a week.

And yes I do blow thru stop signs after looking to see if no one is around. Unclipping sucks. That is about as bad as I get. Never wrong way on a one way. Always have great lights on bike. I want to be seen. I am riding for my health so getting squished is not what I am after.

This town has gotten a heck of a lot better. Back on the 80s when I was a hardcore cyclist riding more miles than I drive now this town was scary. The anxiety levels are almost non-existent compared to the 80s.

Bike Lanes are marked. Just assume you have a bike lane to the right all the time. Because you really do. The city did it nicely for drivers it could be worse.

Personally if I was doing it I would have moved the parked cars next to the drivers and make the bike lane by the curb. Then that drunk would have run into cars on esplanade instead of people. I don't care if your SUV gets squished it is better that loosing a life.

Hopefully the cyclist get better with the going up a one way the wrong way. That chaps my hide and is super dangerous.

Be patient. We all have places to go.

We are just gonna get more and more cyclist. The ebike is a real thing. Getting people out that would not work that hard normally. They are getting cheaper. It makes a commute a breeze.

Oh about the tickets. I guess you just can't double park anymore. Every major Street has a bike lane. I hope they ticket ups, the post office, and FedEx. I am tired of them. Why is that package more important than everyone in the world.
