    One of the 4 lane streets in my city got the extra lanes turned into bike lanes. Not just painted, they’re raised up from the car lane, and then further raised for the sidewalk, proper curbs between each mode of travel. Absolutely fantastic.

    PEOPLE NOW PARK IN THE BIKE LINE ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

    There is no parking along this street, but since the businesses and apartment buildings need vehicle access there are extra wide sections of sidewalk, marked specifically for stopping with a motor vehicle in a way that doesn’t completely block bikes or pedestrians.

    Drivers will still stop in the bike lane RIGHT GODDAMN NEXT TO THESE.

    Drivers are slowly wising up to it, but I still have to veer onto the car lane about once a commute to round a car neatly blocking the bike lane.
