In the news is the construction of the bike lane on major roads for the protection of the bikers. That is in anticipation that the citizens will be using the bicycle for their personal transport since the public transport cannot operate normally. I just hope that they will make the bike lane exclusive for 2 wheels.

I am not confident that it will be a success.

We have some bike lanes but bikers go on the sidewalk too. All I can say is that it will work out.

Sounds good but why do you wish for exclusively 2 wheel bikes?

We already had the motorbike lanes before in the main roads but it is used by vehicles so the motorbikes are using other lanes.

@Helikaputo that is what happens when the lane is not exclusive.

Yes, roller skates or even the trolley and the small scooter.

@mrki444 my idea of 2 wheels are the bikes and motorbikes.

@Alexandoy Not for small scooter. They are to fast and can hit somebody much harder than bicyles.

This is a great idea if you have a lot of cyclists. I first saw the bike path in the Netherlands. We've had it here for a while

We do not have lots of cyclists but the government is thinking that it will be the trend due to the difficulty of getting a ride in public transport.

@LowRiderX here it should be a wide lane so it is not exclusive for the 2 wheels.

@Alexandoy What I also noticed in the photo is the width of that lane for cyclists, it is much wider than here and than the ones I saw in the Netherlands

My daughter's brain child, I believe. She's been pushing that for the longest time. Took a pandemic for those in charge of transport to listen.

There is already a motorbike lane in EDSA but it is not exclusive.

We have some here and they are not safe at intersections. The person on the bike has to watch for turning cars.

The intersection is also a concern here not because of the cars but mostly of the motorbikes.

More likely I will not ride a bike because this is a tropical country that is very hot during the daytime.

It was done before that the government had a campaign for the bike. But it failed.

We need to have exclusive so the 2 wheels will be confined to one lane and avoid accidents.

That is what we need here - bike only or 2 wheels only.

The motorcycle lane in EDSA did not succeed because it is not exclusive. When a car is in the motorcycle lane the tendency of the motorcycle is to move to another lane.

I miss biking! I really do hope they'd make the lane exclusive for bicycles.

When there is a bike lane then you can buy a bike.

Good news indeed A bike lane will reduce accidents. But pedestrians should not be allowed on the lane.
