So the cyclist who put the plungers down and the cyclist who was interviewed do not know jack about cycling safety. They would rather get right hooked at the last second rather than have a motorist properly merge into the bike lane for a safe right turn. The city also does not know jack since the bike lane was not painted with dashed lines near the intersection.
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.
