I'll remember these next time I get too convinced by the 'other side.'' certainly on market st., nobody would expect to be able to park anyway. the only potential danger I imagine would be that some motorists will still try to pull over with their lights flashing, and might strike cyclists in the process. even w/ bike lanes, I'll be riding on smaller streets without those streetcar tracks that twist your bike wheel when you're not looking. perfect arguments for more bikes!

I am much more aware of local businesses and inclined to visit them because of the connection. I don't feel that connection whizing by in my car. I also find myself going to shops that more biker friendly. Ones with bike racks outside and public restrooms (so I can wash my hands before eating). But do businesses want bicyclists as customers? We're smelly and obviously frugal. The customer they want is the lavish, affluent customer who drives a land rover, for whom money is clearly no object. I have recently started biking around L.A.
