[Cyclelicious] New comment on Parking? Or Bike Lanes?.

bikesgonewild has left a new comment on your post "Parking? Or Bike Lanes?":

...here in the "bicycle friendly" confines of marin county, the town of san anselmo did the same diagonal parking thing on one side of the street, through part of the business district......

...in the middle of town it's not such a big deal because traffic is generally slow but on the southern stretch of the main drag, as a cyclist, you are definitely forced out into a faster stream of traffic...especially when there's a double-cab truck parked there or some clueless shmo doesn't edge up to the curb...

...the real problem is that a driver backing out of a parking space oft times can't see around or through the vehicle next to them until they've fully backed into the lane...

...definitely more dangerous, nowadays...
