“Most bicycle trips on the ferry are for recreational purposes”
SGK, would you like to back up your obnoxious claim with any actual data?

The problem is most bicycle trips on the ferry are for recreational purposes which have little to do with auto trip reduction and environment degradation.

If cyclists do slow the unloading of the ferry then maybe bicycles should be last unless they show they are using their bike for their commute (ORCA pass or such)?

Well, the other side of the coin is that while riding my bicycle, until the ferry empties out, I get run down by car drivers. Really the best thing would be a separate exit ramp from the boat to shore to a bike path. But that’s not going to happen, I side with cascade, let the drivers sit.
