No, it is the anti-bike lane zealots who have no sense of reality....

Watch what the drivers do (somewhere other than Silly Cone valley).


Troll (and I'll note that the troll snipped the full response, only
a few lines long because he had no possible reply). Here it is again:

Some drivers will get mad at you no matter what. In one case, some
woman screamed and honked at me while I was riding in a bike lane.
What got her mad is that I stopped at stop sign and she was somewhat
behind me and wanted to make a right turn, so she had to wait a
couple of seconds for me to clear the intersection. Traffic was
so light that, as far as I could see in either direction, including
along the cross street, there was precisely one bicycle and one
automobile using those roads.

There's a simple solution to the problem - don't give licenses
to people who lack the maturity needed to operate a motor vehicle.

"Bicycle lanes" often endanger the cyclist at intersections (where most
cyclist/vehicle collisions occur) in return for some psychological
comfort of reducing the risk of getting hit from behind (which is rare,
even without bicycle farcilities).
