There’s a two lane road near my home that clearly states the bike lane is for bikes only, under any non-emergency circumstances. I’ve seen bikers almost killed as well as almost getting rear ended or side swiped by people flying down the bike lane to make the right that I make at the intersection from the middle of the road, as prescribed. I understand the complaints but you’ll never catch me on a road of any sort in America with a bike. It’s just not worth the risk. So everyone is (except the crazy bikers that use the lane) on the sidewalk. It’s just a symptom of poor design. And unfortunately everyone will include those assholes almost hitting people on the sidewalk.
