We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

Very interesting thread; thanks, OP!

Here's an issue I'd love to hear your input on. I'm an avid bicyclist, and there's no end of argument on the various bicycling forums out there as to what's the all-around "best" arrangement for a reasonably busy road:

1. A dedicated bike lane, or other segregated facility.
2. An outside vehicle lane that's wide enough for a car and a bike to share safely side-by-side, or
3. The bike takes the full lane and forces car traffic to change lanes to pass.

Of course it's a lot more complicated than just this in the real world -- for example, a lot of bike lanes are located dangerously close to parallel-parked cars, so anyone who rides in them is practically begging to get doored. But I'm curious what sort of attention the spandex brigade gets in your simulations, and if you've arrived at any conclusions on "best practices" regarding us.
