You should ask your local government for dedicated biking infrastructure then.

  Dedicated bike lanes have actually been going out of style. Especially those using half of the sidewalk with only symbolic separation from pedestrians are plagued by the inattentiveness of pedestrians, and are usually too narrow to pass other bikes. The pavement is also at higher risk of damage, because these lanes are usually right next to any trees lining the roads, and their roots quickly create breaks, bumps and potholes. What's now preferred is a marked lane in the rightmost car lane, or to just dedicate a complete lane to bikes.

    A painted strip in the rightmost car lane is the worst bike-lane solution, it's too easy for cars to drift into it. It doesn't feel safe, especially as they're often too narrow. Proper, separated lanes, with kerbstones between both the cars and the pedestrians is best. It's also the most expensive.
