"This is Houston, not Amsterdam." Those were the words of a commenter in a thread on Next Door about the concrete abutments on 11th Street near Yale that were causing a bit of a stir among residents who choose to argue online. Admittedly, a cursory check of that particular intersection is rather perplexing, but it was simply a platform to stir up debate about the very principle of bike lanes in the Heights, which are exploding unabated.
Fewer seem to care about the Shepherd corridor lanes given the fact that there are already so many lanes on those streets to begin with, but dropping a safe space for bicycling enthusiasts on 11th appears tantamount to sacrilege among some residents. And they aren't alone. Numerous businesses along the popular Heights thoroughfare gathered to protest the changes before the city undertook them. Now, that they are done, it seems feelings are still hurt.
The argument always seems to be"no one rides these things." That is, of course, until they are complete and they are then often populated with riders. Check the hundreds of miles of bike paths across Houston. They are frequented by cyclists and, yes, commuters even if no one is cycling from Pasadena to Katy for work.
We might answer,"But, why exactly?" And, more importantly, what do you care? As many would point out, some cycle enthusiasts do not obey traffic laws as they should. They often point to large groups like Critical Mass, who block traffic and generally anger anyone trying to cross a street they are riding on.
