Sorry, Serge, but I do believe in PROPERLY-ENGINEERED bike lanes on prime arterials and high-speed highways. I do not want them on 25mph local roads, or where they lie within the door zone of parked cars, or where they continue to the right of a right-turn-only lane. In many cases, a wide curb lane or a usable shoulder is just as good, but a bike lane can help discourage parking in the shoulder and tends to cause right lane motorists to give us more space. (Narrow lanes have been proven to calm traffic.)
