Bike lanes needed
It bothers me that a couple of years ago over a million dollars of our tax money was spent to dig a tunnel under Maybank Highway.
This was for the safety of golfers. Now we have a brand- new Maybank Highway, all paved and prettified, but no one thought to give three to four feet beside the road for bikers.
Why are we more concerned about the safety of golfers on a 12-foot span of Maybank Highway than with the safety of bicyclists along the entire stretch of the same highway? Does it bother anyone else?
I say rethink this and paint lines for bike riders. Decrease the median space if need be. Those guys need space without worrying about some rash motorist clipping them as they pass.

Follow the money trail. Bicyclists are quite often considered second class citizens in the eyes of most, golfing is considered a "serious sport" unlike cycling. For those of us that cycle for transportation we are considered losers, funny thing is in reality we are winners; healthier, more money in the bank instead of feeding an expensive automobile. When oil goes up again (and it will) and stays up, they might just learn.
