What are those issues? Shouldn't every city strive to create as many bike lanes as possible to improve non-car transport?

- mattbk1 7y agoPerhaps the comment was lamenting the lack of bike lanes. As a person who rides a bike as much as I can, I'd be much happier sharing a bike lane with a bunch of scooters than a street with cars.
- jandrese 7y agoDelivery vehicles parked in the bike lanes. Cars cutting off the bike lanes at every intersection. No traffic light sensors in the bike lanes. Bike lanes that are poorly connected because they're being retrofitted into the city peacemeal and don't cover the major thoroughfares. These have been discussed to death in other articles, I didn't want to sidetrack this conversation with another digression.
- MereInterest 7y agoAt the risk of following the explicitly marked sidetrack/digression, those all sound like issues based on the assumption that only car traffic matters, rather than any issue inherent to bike lanes.
- bluGill 7y agoUntil the police enforce other rules the reality is only car traffic matters. Bike lanes and the like are a cheap distraction to shut up a few noisy voters and look green.
