A bike lane is any strip of bitumen that has been re-marked, to make a wide four lane road, slightly narrower with a bike lane on either side. It is usually up against the gutter were cars like to park, causing the cyclist to dodge in and out of parked cars...
It is also the area that cars use as looking room when exiting side streets, causing the cyclist to weave into traffic...
They are usually full of broken glass from car crashes. Leaves, sticks, tree branches, litter, road work signs, buses, motorcyclists can also be found in them.
