Exactly. I live in a suburb of New Jersey and almost all of the roads have zero bike lanes with no shoulder or a shoulder that is supposed to double as a bike lane. At many points while driving, I need to swerve to the left of the double yellow line to give bikers leeway. I used to live in New York City and even there I am amazed at how few bike lanes there are. 7th avenue south going past Penn Station has no bike lane, yet the road is seven lanes wide. Plenty of room to put in a protected bike lane.
