Jackson says that the tours have two purposes. "First, to show them
that bike lanes work. Second, to get them to think about bike lanes in
their design work."

Bike lanes suck, especially when they _END_ on a gravel shoulder with
the only warning being a notice of same painted on said lane 5 meters
before said eventuality.

I would rather have an extra 2-meters/6-feet (unmarked) added to the
outside lane (right lane for all but the Commonwealth island nations and
Japan) than a bike lane. The outside lane should also be regularly
traversed by a Pelican [1] or similar creature.
