Marking a bike lane or better create a separate bike lane secures people riding bicycle and convince them to take their bike I grew up a in a village and sometimes took my bike to the next village, not many people did that. 5 years ago they created a separate bike lane. Now, every time I go back to my village I see at least one bike riding it, when before it was non existent.
