Nuh uh. My city painted pictures of bicycles on the asphalt in the right lane of a busy road, so now drivers know it’s also for bikes and it’s suuuuuper safe.
That’s what Big Bike Lane doesn’t want you to know. You don’t need to build a bunch of infrastructure to separate cyclists and cars - you just need paint! Especially the new kind that wears off the road in less than a year and doesn’t get repainted.
In my city, all of the pictures of bicycles on the asphalt are underneath parked cars.
Ah good, that way they won't wear out too quickly!
I thought about making some stickers that say like "I'm as asshole that parks in the bike lane" and slapping them on cars that were doing so, but I'd probably get caught and sent to jail for a decade.
Just routinely ride into them at high speed. What are they gonna say in court?
I asked my lawyer friend and she advised against this course of action :(
If it helps I found and bought some "you park like a cunt" stickers a few years back, good times.
Sharrows are worse than no bike lanes since they provide the illusion of safety while offering absolutely no protection.
