Sad what the pro-bikelane advocates have given us.

Even ODOT can design a better sucky bike lane. Now you understand why I like the sidewalk when I ride by the interchange...the sidewalk is separated from the road by a row of trees and grass and is a natural barrier to all but the most dedicated of tree huggers.


Apparently they have a good deal on plungers in Kansas, as my dollar store model is much wimpier.
