disagree. the most typical bike lane in America is nicknamed "dooring lane" - a painted lane that forces cyclists to ride in the dooring zone. As for speed, I've been stopped at a light and had a parked driver open their door into me without even looking. If riding next to parked cars is dangerous, then it's the street designers who are to blame.
- lttlrck 2y agoIf it's typically nicknamed "dooring lane" then it must be common knowledge among cyclist that this can happen. So there must still be some significant negligence on their part to ride fast enough to be killed by a known hazard? This is risk taking, pure and simple.
