As someone who always hated to get stuck behind a bike while driving, I like bike lanes because it means the bikes never get in my way.
I’m opposed to a vehicle that maxes out at 20mph riding in a lane that’s 35mph or above. For safety reasons as well as the inconvenience. I always felt nervous passing bikes on the road, and often the cyclist would look at me like I’m an asshole for it, but ain’t no way I’m going all the way to where I’m going doing half the speed limit, and it’s selfish for someone to think I should just because they chose to take a slower vehicle.
Bike lanes solve this problem. Bikes and cars go different speeds, and each has their own lane so they don’t get in each other’s ways and there are no close calls.
I don’t understand why car people are opposed to bike lanes.
You don’t need bike lanes to ride!
You need bike lanes to encourage more people to ride
Not many people are willing to take a lane
Not yet.
Not ever!
