Don't know if anyone posted this before.
Found this on digg.com

I was going to post that but then I figured I'd get flamed.
I found it on https://ffffound.com

It was posted somewhere on BF in the last few days. Don't remember where. Prompted posting of life jacket pictures.

Thats worse than the ones I saw in Bangkok where they just painted the bike image in the middle of the existing sidewalk. They had signs posting it as a bike lane any everything.

You just KNOW a gentle shove by someone in a passing car is at LEAST a daily happening.

you jokers are just complaining cause you cant hold a line

i dont see a problem personally

Oh well, this is a street in the Netherlands. Here bikers don't give a **** about cars anyway. And car drivers don't really care because they ride bikes too as every person here owns approx. 2,5 bikes. But I've seen some more strange things here. What about a sign summoning you to a bicycle path which turns out to be 3 feet long before you have to ride on the road again?

aren't you required to ride in bike lanes (if they're provided) in the netherlands? I know you have to in Belgium.

i think it's been proven. cities really just want us to go out and die.

I wasn't asked to use the farce-ilities when I cycled (Vehicular cycling all the way) there. Anyone care to confirm/deny Tim's statement please?

I ride in the street, disobey traffic lights, and generally ride like a dumb-ass. Nobody bats and eye.

At least they didn't cut down the tree, even if it's in the way.
That street would look ultra sad without it.

I'd like to see a good trials rider take this path

calling danny macaskill!

In my town we have 1 block worth of bike lines in the entire city(not counting the very nice bike path which goes along the outskirts of like half the city) and it's the bumpiest brick road i've ever ridden a bike on(yesterday while riding it somehow the screws keeping one of my clips on came loose and fell off and because it was a ****ty brick road, finding tiny nuts and bolts was hard) and at the end of the lane you have to do a dangerous merge into the busiest road in town. I usually just stick to the road instead of bothering with the path.
