> It feels too dangerous to be a couple feet from all our big SUVs and pickup trucks at 100 kph/55 mph unless you're also going an appreciable fraction of that speed. Most bike lanes are on city streets where motor vehicles are going anywhere from 0 to 35 mph (0 to 55 km/h). Most people on bikes are going 0 to 20 mph (0 to 30 km/h) which really isn't much slower, so bike lanes or separated paths really don't make sense. Where traffic is moving faster, you rarely find bike lanes or separated paths.
