Fuck your existing lanes and fuck your 1.5-tonne beasts. Make some space, it won’t fucking kill you.

      I don’t think they provide insurance, but I do think that’s what the previous commenter was saying it’d ensure. You’re most likely in agreement.

        You just need to properly segregate them

        There’s no reason for bike lanes to be side by side car roads. Bikes don’t need the same level of turn rate or intersections at all

        Like my commuter road in oslo takes me about 30 minutes, and is only next to the road for a km or two. Even then it’s not advertising in the road, but on an elevated track next to it. Most of the time it’s an entirely separate route, shared with pedestrians.
