The first question I had for him was whether he was satisfied with the condition of San Diego's biking lanes, and he told me that although it could be better implicated towards freeways, he is happy about the goals mayor Filner has set forth towards adding miles of new lanes around the city.
I then changed the question towards the future of bike lanes in SD, if the city could improve on it, or if they are doing a good job as it is. He said, "Currently (the San Diego) budget is bankrupt, as it stands now I am grateful to have some bike lanes. If we ever get out this economic drought, I would like to see more bike lanes added and maybe even some bike only roads to be made. Like cars have freeways to get around easily, but what about bikers? Always having to take the longer detour-routes."
I agree with him that it seems unfair at times, but Mayor Filner is apparently hard at work to constitute bike lanes into the budget, and even dedicating certain days to bike only days on select roads.
My friend had to quickly get back to serving a customer, but I appreciate his time. Performance Bicycles is a great place to go to for all your bike repairs, they are friendly and knowledgable.
