Yesterday I had to make a stop at a store on the way home, so I finished my commute using a different route - the same route I use when grocery shopping by bike, actually. So I'm going along, bike lane starts, but the pavement up ahead is just horrible. Broken up pavement and glass everywhere. I moved out of the bike lane into the travel lane, and a few seconds later there was a loud HONK followed by a woman in an SUV using the bike lane to pass me on my right! The bike lanes my town has installed are just ridiculous. I emailed the mayor and city planner about them last night, about how bad the pavement is, and how the bike lanes do not meed federal MUTCD standards by dropping the solid line for a dashed line at least 100 feet from intersections and side streets. I also sent them a couple of still shots from my GoPro.
