What the hell are you talking about? The 7th street bike lane hooks up with all major paths and leads directly to the new Peace bridge. It's basically a perfect location. The problem is the cyclists that live west of Kensington like to cut off a maybe one-two minute bike drive by going illegally over the 10th street bridge, which for your reference, is mandatory that they get off and walk their bike across. I have never seen one person in my 6 years of walking across that bridge seen a cyclist follow the law and actually walk their bike across that bridge.
Your logic is ridiculous. If I don't like the city the lane built me to drive my car in because I want to be one block over, should I be allowed to drive up a sidewalk with my car and hit dozens of people and throw my hands up and say " Screw it, I wanted this road to be one block over." Unfortunate your attitude is shared by a sizeable portion of the cyclists in Calgary who chose to follow the rules of the road only when it benefits them, and is the big reason why such projects are met with such dismay by the general population. Why should people inconvenience themselves for cyclists when they are going to do whatever the hell they want anyways?
