KVUE, stirring the pot again...

Wow. That was a crazy, uninformed "news" segment! Too bad they didn't figure out the faded, blue lines on Arroyo Seco were for an Austin Marathon (the City was promised they would disappear in a few weeks). And the "bike lanes" on Woodrow are not actually bike lanes (no bike pavement markings) but rather a traffic calming device meant to narrow the travel lanes and encourage peeps to drive slower (ineffective), though they do often serve as nice bike lanes when not filled with parked cars or garbage cans. What ineptitude.

It makes me really mad that they are inciting even more anti-cycling attitudes over nothing.
