Can Bike Lanes Float?
I thought this was interesting concept, floating bike lanes. Useful on streets with part time parking such as Race St and Chestnut St. When parking is not allowed the area between the two solid stripes becomes a travel lane and the right side of the parking lane becomes a bikeable shoulder.

Dang, when I saw that headline I thought for sure you'd found a way to run a bike path the length of the Schuylkill AND the Delaware rivers.
John,
When I was out in San Fran last September for the big APBP conference in Davis I had an opportunity to ride the floating bike-lane along the Embarcadero. It was NOT all that intuitive. I rode it when parking was not allowed. Car drivers seemed to understand the concept but I felt a little unnerved. It didn't help that the stripes and paint had come up in many places. The "T"s you see in the picture however do a great job of keeping cyclists out of the door zone.
I wish I lived in a city where we had enough room on the roads for something like this. Unfortunately living in a medieval city, Dublin, means that there is barely enough room for traditional bike lanes, and most of those are used as extra parking spots for cars, illegally of course...
Why was there no follow on bankruptcy then? The bailout of AIG FP went to (wow power leveling) hedge funds that bound credit swaps on Lehman failing or others betting on rating (wow power leveling) declines. AIG has drained over 100 billion from the government. Which had to go to those who bet on failures and downgrades. Many of whom (power leveling)were hedge funds. I-banks that had offsetting swaps needed the money from the AIG bailout or they would have been caught. Its an (wow powerleveling) insiders game and it takes just a little bit too much time for most people to think (wow gold) through where the AIG 100 billion bailout money went to, hedge funds and players, many of whom hire from the top ranks of DOJ, Fed, Treasury, CAOBO
