  Bike lanes suck.

  They’re better than no bike infrastructure at all, but they’re still suck city compared to dedicated bike paths with physical barriers between cyclists/cars and even cyclists/pedestrians.

    they suck on stroads, yes. they’re mostly fine in tight downtown areas alongside a single vehicle lane.

    I think most people refer to physically separated bike paths that share the same road surface as bike lanes. personally, I don’t really like completely separate bike paths (around here, most commonly multi use paths), because they’re not actually designed as infrastructure, but as recreation, so connections and directness are poor.

    but, yes, just tossing in a bike lane is not the proper solution, it’s a bandaid on the way to a complete infrastructure replan. and fuck you Ontario for blocking them and ripping them out

      I’d build those gosh darned commie railways, reduce roads* by a lane to make real dedicated bikeways and build euro style 4-5 story apartment blocks with retail on the ground floor and make it all walkable!

      muahahahahah!

    Unprotected bike lanes are actually worse than nothing so yeah.

    I miss living on the Toronto harbourfront and being able to bike an hour in either direction along the lake with very minimal interactions with cars…

      the other day i watched a car slip into the bike lane for 100yards. good thing cyclists around here know better than to take the road.
