Agreed. - Spacey or dedicated lanes are a major requirement. And in my fantasies I'd like two kinds of lanes, speedy and casual. Riding around 25kmph for commuting can be dangerous if the lane thins out, people ride/run slow, kids play around. - Also, secured parking spots. I refrain from riding when I don't know where I'm gonna park. Too easy to pick/steal [VIDEO] . Or a <20 bucks tagging device (in 2013 it's probably easy for many manufacturers)
Two relevant videos. This guy attempted to 'steal' his own bike in NYC: [VIDEO] There's also this one. First, a white guy. Then, a black guy. Finally, a woman: [LINK]
I haave had a Babboe City (without an e-assist) [0] in the NYC for ~8 years -- and mostly leave it in storage in the NYC suburbs. It's a heavy beast without the an e-assist, and the few times I've had it in NYC & parked it (during daylight hours), people have left trash in it. I can't fathom leaving a ~$6,000 bike locked outdoors overnight, given what happens to cheaper bikes in NYC [1]. I'd love to use it more, but it's impractical. [0] [LINK] [1] [VIDEO]
