Cyclists shouldn’t ‘share the road,’ they should have their own

It's long been the most controversial issue in bicycling:

Should people on bikes ride in traffic with cars, using the same infrastructure and following the same procedures (a style of riding known as "Vehicular Cycling")?

Should we ride on the sidewalks and off-road paths, with pedestrians?

Or should we have our own place to ride that's designed specifically for bicycling?

Although I'm not totally opposed to 'vehicular cycling', I would much rather have separated cycle lanes.

At times when riding on the road with cars I feel rushed.

I believe speed limits should be looked at also.

IMO residential streets should be no more than 30km/h, while the max. for any city road should be 50km/h, unless a proper bike lane is in place.
