Exactly how many times do I have to explain that double-file riding is not
against California law?  Please cite the relevant code if you have 
information that I don't.

I would feel that maybe I should have listened to the cyclists who were
telling them than bike lanes are not reasonable solutions for bicyclists.

Which is why smart bicyclists don't want bike lanes; it is safest when
cyclists have full rights to use the roads, and people who want bikes in
bike lanes want to curtail our rights.  Bike lanes exist because CAR
DRIVERS WANT BIKES OUT OF THE WAY, not because bicyclists want bike lanes.

It is not possible to safely segregate traffic by vehicle type.
