I’m not saying I don’t want bike lanes.
But the layout of the city I live in is a bunch of districted connected by a big highway.
People are not riding a bike from one district to the other and if they do, they are at high risk of getting hit.
So bike lanes are stupid when only 1 district implements them and doesn’t offer any way to get there from other places safely.
It is literally unused and takes up a lane to worsen traffic even further.
So your argument is any one district is wrong to put in a bike lane because they all don’t have bike lanes? How do expect to have connecting bike lanes if you don’t start anywhere?
And your second issue is it’s dangerous for bikes so we shouldn’t have bikes? Maybe people should drive better?
You even used the classic “I never saw anyone use them”
You sound like you just don’t want bike lanes…
