This is exactly why you cannot overgeneralize about bike lanes and such. Out West, for example, it seems there are not always alternate routes for cyclists to take, so you end up on a freeway, more or less.
Exactly... one has to look at each and every situation as it exists to make judgement on the efficacy of a BL.
