Nonsense. Cyclists don't have to obey the law. 8-) Riding up one-way-lanes the wrong direction is a cyclists every-day-trip to mekka! > As for dedicated bicycle lanes, I've been very impressed by the ones in > Germany and Austria (usually half of the sidewalk). Well, it depends. If there's enough space and budget and will there might be usable bicycle lanes. But the average bicycle lane (in germany, western part) is a holey, hunchbacked, worn-out and neglected strip of asphalt which looks like it had no maintainance since the romans build it... ... unless you're living in a city dedicated to encouraging cycling. e.g. Münster, home of Linus Gerdeman, our man (who has been) in yellow. 8-) Cheers Michael
