Bike lanes? Hehehehe!
Out my way (City of Whitehorse) it's a dogs breakfast. Bike lanes that start
and stop, and not legal lanes as they have no signs; obstructions built into
the 'bike lanes' because they are trying to control the motor vehicle
traffic; lanes on quiet secondary roads that go nowhere; but none on most
main roads, which is where commuting cyclists ride. The ratio of roads to
bike lanes would be a factor of at least 100:1. BV has a long way to go
still.
I do agree, bike lanes may be a cycling success story from BV in the inner
suburbs, but out here they tend to be the bit of road that nobody else uses,
free to reclaim for traffic as traffic engineers see fit.
