I'm a motorist, and I get pissed when I hear that a bike lane is being added.

Mainly because bike lanes suck. We need dedicated infrastructure for bikes. The discrepancy in mass and velocity between a person and a car is too great to have both using the same infrastructure. Slapping some paint on a road and calling good simply isn't enough.

A bike lane can (and should be) more than just paint.

A dotted line and a symbol on the ground do not a bike lane make.

Give me some of them concrete barrier separations.
