Bicycle lanes are just paint on the street.
They do not improve safety at all.
Deal with it.

deal with what? your hummer? bike lanes are a wider street with an area
designated for bikes (not for parked cars), with little bikers painted on
the street to tell drivers that it's a bike lane. they help improve safety
for cyclists...a lot.

My experience with bike lanes is that they are more dangerous than the
traffic lanes. All the road debris is pushed into them from motor
vehicles and water, making them like mine fields - and flat tire
cities.

Give me the right regular traffic lane any day of the week.
