no bicyclist in america is 'restricted to bikelanes' in any state in the nation if safety considerations, road condition, traffic or turning motions preclude their use.

the bonifide results of bikelanes in communities, maddyfish, is they reduce wrong way cycling AND reduce sidewalk use at intersections, encourage cycling as transportation AND remain safer than unaccomodated roads.

this holds true for any cyclist, maddyfish. the Moritz study was of thousands of LAB cyclists, people that generally are 'experienced cyclists' with thousands of km of road riding a year.
