I don't hate bike lanes. I think they're an unnecessary expenditure as appropriate bike lanes are striped where the lane is already shareable, but I won't oppose them in those cases if it gets more people riding.

I do hate badly designed bike lanes which is most. They range from a little more to WAY more dangerous than riding in the street while trading on the misperception that they're safe, especially for novice cyclists.

It seems a little cynical to promote cycling at the cost of cyclists' safety.
