[SDCBC] Whatever happened to that bike lane on La Costa?

[Robert Leone]

Dear SDCBCers:
	Hello! On Saturday's ride I got honked at, big time, on La Costa. The 
road is bike-laned northbound from Rancho Santa Fe to the Coast Highway, 
EXCEPT for a section where the "Bike Lane" turns into an on-street 
parking shoulder!
	So there we are, riding along, keeping away from parked cars and their 
suddenly-opening doors just as the Department of Motor Vehicles' bike 
riding tips web page advises and we must have shocked some poor snook in 
a big pickup (with, I might add, a fair amount of plywood and 
costruction-tool stuff in the bed!), so much he actually pulled in to an 
open spot along the shoulder for a few seconds before driving off.
	I almost regret not having the chance for some dialog.
	Still, while some of the senior SDCBCers are in a reminiscing mood, I 
would like to ask what is the story with La Costa? Would I be ride in my 
cynical suspicioun the perfectly good bike lane was appropriated to give 
more parking spaces for that developer?
