> Also, bike lanes are actually a sinister public policy that deliberately puts drivers against cyclists
They're actually favored by motorists and facilities advocates since they get cyclists out of the way of cars. The unpredictable stuff you mention is just stuff that cyclists have to deal with for the convenience of motorists.
In fact, in New York the law for cyclists proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic states:
https://www.dot.ny.gov/display/programs/bicycle/safety_laws/laws#1234 https://www.dot.ny.gov/display/programs/bicycle/safety_laws/...
>> Upon all roadways, any bicycle or in-line skate shall be driven either on a usable bicycle or in-line skate lane or, if a usable bicycle or in-line skate lane has not been provided, near the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway or upon a usable right-hand shoulder in such a manner as to prevent undue interference with the flow of traffic
The last clause shows that it's not for safety; it's for the convenience of motorists.
