Redesigning the Bike Lane. Listening to Bike Lanes is an interesting paper by Jeffrey Hiles on the controversy between planners who want to create 'safe spaces' for cyclists, and so-called 'Effective Cyclists' who distain bike lanes, and point out how they not only hider riders, but can contribute to accidents and instead argue for training cyclists to ride in traffic. Hiles looks at the matter as a design problem, bringing cognitive psychology to bear on the matter.
