Bike lanes are really for motorists, anyway. They want us out of the way, so the city makes bike lanes, so we're out of the way. Then, they complain that the bike lanes take up too much space on the road that they could be driving in. You just can't please some people.
It just gets me that in the 7000 year history of roads, motorists are the only group that have felt that the roads should be exclusively for them. Yet, somehow cyclists are the ones with the misplaced sense of entitlement.
