Humid as fuck though
The problem there is enforcing said smaller space. Painted bike lanes do absolutely nothing to ensure people get used to having the smaller space because drivers still have all that space. A painted line doesn’t stop them from swerving into the bike lane whenever they please.
At the very least you put flexi-posts on there to enforce it if you can’t build a full curb to protect the bike lane. That tends to discourage drivers if not stop them entirely
destructdisc@lemmy.worldOPto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•How are you pro-bike and anti-bike lane???English273·13 hours agoSlight disagreement there. Streets are for pedestrians and bikes and trams and the occasional car (in a dedicated car lane). Roads (as in large arterial roads in very limited areas, meant for fast travel between faraway zones when trains are inconvenient, or highways between cities) can be considered as intended for cars, and even those should have pretty good space dedicated to bike lanes and pedestrian sidewalks.
If they even come at all, that is. 😏

To be fair it’s exactly what you’d expect someone like this to tweet
destructdisc@lemmy.worldOPto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•How are you pro-bike and anti-bike lane???English142·1 day agoHas the concept of “extending the bike lane so it leads to something” crossed your mind, or have you been huffing too much gasoline for that kind of radical thinking?

Okay good. I was concerned they were serious for a second there.
Is that supposed to be satirical or…?

It does when the traffic is so dense that you can’t get by even on foot, let alone on a bike. I’ve had the misfortune of spending 20 minutes marooned in the same spot in the middle of a traffic jam because I was boxed in with no space to pass anywhere.
We take “bumper to bumper” traffic quite literally in this neck of the woods.
There’s actually pretty decent public transit on my route, but I’d have to take a bus for half of it, which…well, see above.
