In America, these terrible lanes are rare. If we must have them, let's insist that they not be like these presented here!

thanks, chip, for bringing this to our attention

The bike lanes are crap in the UK but forutnately aren't compulsory. The government and a few judges keep trying to make them but fortunately the cycling lobby is strong enough to get them knocked down to alternatives every time so far.
