About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

A buffered bike lane provides a more protected and comfortable space for cyclists than a conventional bike lane. A painted buffered bike lane can also serve to help faster moving cyclists safely pass slower moving cyclists on busy, well-cycled stretches of road.

Examples of how buffered bike lanes have helped riders in San Francisco:

Chicago recently installed a buffered bike lane that also instantly improved conditions for cyclists:

The section of Highway 101 between La Costa and Leucadia is a 40 mph road and a buffered bicycle lane will allow more cyclists to start riding.
