bike lanes?? di na siguro. kurakoteers lang ang makikinabang dyan!

Bike lanes - one vote from me. It will make the roads safer for the bicycle riding people. If it is only safe to commute to work daily, I would gladly leave the car at home and ride a bike to work. Exercise and good for the environment.

Bike lanes (motorbike and bicycle),- imperative.

With our narrow roads, undisciplined drivers, especially PUV drivers, and also unruly pedestrians, it will just do more harm than good.

The idea and intention is good, but like in facebook ...IT'S COMPLICATED! :-)

As long as the bike lanes will still use the same physical road with only a painted line to separate them from the cars, trucks and buses using the same road, it will never be any safer. The only way it would be safer is if the bike will have their own lane physically separate from the road, like to build the bike lane parallel to foot paths and pedestrian walks. Any less would just be deluding ourselves that it would be "safer".

+1. Like the ones in Marikina.

Biking on the road with cars is pretty dangerous. Especially with the quality of drivers we have here.

yes. overtaking vehicles will only use this lane. dapat talaga separate or may barrier but with our narrow roads, wala ng space. im an avid biker but bike lanes are still not doable in most of our roads
