Will there be bike lanes in CIM2?

[Aufrechtgehn]

I think every city needs to have bike lanes and I really love Monsterfurby's awesome idea to add bike rent stations to the game. In CIM1, I did that using the bike racks and the parking ticket automats - okay, decoration only, no function, still enhancing the realism and beauty of my cities IMHO. In CIM2, I'm using bus lanes as bike lanes when building my roads. Which actually makes sense, as in Frankfurt, where I live, ciclysts are allowed to use bus lanes (unlike cars).

I can't see how it would fit into the game alongside the other transportation methods, it isn't really the sort of thing a private transit company would run. Besides, as a car driver I hate cyclists, most of them have no road sense whatsoever!

The main problem is that bicycles simply don't have the infrastructure. In the Law, bikes are suppose to act like cars and other motor vehicles even though they much slower and much more vulnerable. You trying bicycling on a busy highway with 2 ton hunks of metal and fiber glass flying past from behind. Many drivers hate bicyclists, even though the drivers don't know how to properly share the road either. Cars are just as bad if not worse and you have to take a TEST to legally a drive one.

However, there some examples of bad designs: Main st in Santa Monica/Venice in California. Street parking, one lane per direction of traffic, bike lanes, and several busy bus lines(1 of which uses 60 foot articulate buses) and you have a huge flustercuck. The amount of people who can't parallel park is astounding. In this case, it would have been more wise to put bikes on parallel streets.
