    That’s cute that your area of the US has a parking zone to divide the main road from the bike lane.

    In most places I’ve lived in the US, they simply paint a bike symbol on the shoulder of a 50mph road and call it a bike lane. You’re only inches from people driving like they are on a raceway. It’s a suicide lane if you ask me and I refuse to use them. It should be illegal to call such a shitty and dangerous area of the road a “bike lane”.

      I drew this as a suggestion. Virtually nowhere has this setup, and that’s my point.

      i.e. you’re agreeing with me that cycling is dangerous in the US.

        I did misread the comment. But tbf I have very rarely seen an actual divided bike lane in the US. Yes, I agree that it’s primarily dangerous and stupid as fuck the way it generally works here.
