[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate bike lanes. I’m always running up behind someone going way too slow and then get stuck behind them without being able to pass, or I get stuck behind someone who will sit at a light. I will always ride in the street even if there is a bike lane. [/quote]
 
C St bike lane looks wide enough to comfortably pass other cyclists.[/quote]

A cyclist is supposed to be given 36” of space from all other traffic. That’s the law. The LAW. So it’s not really possible for one cyclist to pass another when there needs to be 72” distance between them, and the bike lane is only 60” wide.

This is why I ride in the street, even if there’s a bike lane right next to me. [/quote]

Hahahaha!

The LAW also says you’re supposed to stop and wait at red lights until they turn green, too. You say you hate bike lanes because you get stuck behind people “waiting for lights”.

I guess you only care about the laws that suit you. Which frankly makes you a perfectly ordinary cyclist. [/quote]
