I don't know where you're referring to specifically, but a common thing I've seen is that cities will make some set of roads bikeable (usually roads they were repaving/redesigning anyway) but they're not really connected in a sensible way. It makes biking on the improved roads nicer, but most practical trips will still involve other roads which might be more dangerous, scary, or difficult.

- kgabis 2y agoHaving looked at those bike lanes with streetview it appears most of them are simply painted and don't provide any physical separation from traffic.

- hot_gril 2y agoHuh, maybe they took them out. And yeah that's the classic, those blocked lanes were a constant danger when I used to bike to work.
