Thanks Doug for your reply as to bike lanes. You mentioned that it is up to 
the operator to determine if they would like to or not use the bike lane. 
Would that be in the law or is that something that you believe in. I'll tell 
you, on weekends the lanes are filled with pleasure riders that it is 
impossible to use the lanes without constantly having to pass people. If you 
are trying to get somewhat of a workout forget it. too much stop and go. I 
usually go out to the country side where there are less cars, no stop lights 
and the scenerey is much more pleasant. The only thing that I hate is having 
to ride out to the country. A one hour ride through traffic and less then 
perfect roads.
