Someone forgot that bike lanes should actually have space for a bike. And maybe not cobblestones.
Legally, combined footpath/bike lanes over here should have a minimum width of 2.3m. Between line and tree there is less than 0.8m.

Fucking millennials, first there’s too few trees, now there’s too many, can’t make up their minds, can they. /s
Leave the tree, remove the road.
i really want to burn my first car down soon. i have so many standing unused on the road that i have to use to get to my grocery store every day. One wasn’t moved the whole month of june afaik. And it’s parked in the middle of the road. I have to drive into oncoming traffic to get around it, and so does every car that uses this road. Just because this person has to have a 2nd car. That they obviously don’t need.
This is not mildly infuriating. This is extremely infuriating. But at least you have bike lanes
Based fediverse comment section
Most bike lane planners just assume that we can teleport through trees
Get a load of this guy who doesn’t have a quantum bike pssh
If I could teleport, I wouldn’t bike ;)
Yeah, bike paths always have least priority. Their main point is to show up in the “Our city has X kilometers of bike path” statistic.
This is just bike lanes in general, it feels like they’re just painted in randomly to shut people up, except they’re just not practically useful.
Engineers love painted bike lanes because they are shoulders/“recovery zones” for cars, but they can sell them as bike infrastructure
insert go ahead, die meme here
This is US bike lanes in a nutshell
People park their cars in the bike lanes here 🤬

Thunderdome. Two enter, one leaves.
Watch it or the tree puns might take root
Still better than anything in my area
I think I’ve gotten at the root of the problem
Tree was there first.
Not sure about that. This path was built in 1967. Could be they planted some slim trees and forgot that trees tend to grow.
I refuse to bike on this kind of lane. I just bike on the road, f that.
To shreds you say?
They have many of these where I live. The worst part is that the police will fine cyclists and scooter riders for riding on the road. So everyone is forced onto the sidewalk where scooters scoot between pensioners, kids, and mothers with strollers. What an idiotic backwards system. Peasants, give way to cars. Fudalistic mentality.
You live in the US I presume?
Here in Lyon, France, the local government is removing car lanes downtown so we get wider bike lanes. Some are not happy about it, but if you look at the number of people passing through at rush hour, cyclists really outnumber cars, and bike traffic is never jammed.

my bad. I guess city and road planning is very car-centric as well.
