This bike lane

Square Singer@feddit.de to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 45 points –

Someone forgot that bike lanes should actually have space for a bike. And maybe not cobblestones.

Legally, combined footpath/bike lanes over here should have a minimum width of 2.3m. Between line and tree there is less than 0.8m.

You live in the US I presume?

Here in Lyon, France, the local government is removing car lanes downtown so we get wider bike lanes. Some are not happy about it, but if you look at the number of people passing through at rush hour, cyclists really outnumber cars, and bike traffic is never jammed.
