While it's nice to have bike lanes, I don't like the idea of riding toward oncoming traffic on the left side. Yikes!
If I'm going away from the fella with the camera in these photos (toward oncoming traffic), and another biker is coming towards me (riding with traffic), he'd better prepare for an intense joust, because I'm going to stick as far left in that bike path as I possibly can.
One mishandling of your bike on that path, and you're roadkill. What's the speed limit there?
