Robert Morgan, who has been commuting on his bicycle on Lincoln Avenue in Willow Glen to work since 2008 and is in favor of the street's "road diet," rides on the new bike lane on July 16, 2015. Lincoln Avenue has been narrowed from four to three lanes and had bike lanes installed in an effort to slow speeders and make it safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. But critics fear the changes will lead to more crashes, or drive away shoppers fed up with longer waits at red lights and the hassle of longer trips to negotiate the nine blocks between Coe Avenue and Minnesota Avenue.
