I mean it’s Michigan it’s not like the drivers even know what the lines mean anyway, I’m not sure adding special lines for bikes would make a difference.
it’s really irritating to cycle in front of an impatient driver even when there’s a 20km speed limit and a red light waiting ahead (some are irresistibly attracted to red lights. They want to drive as quickly as possible to just sit there and stare at it 🤷
Bike lanes give guaranteed space for bikes, whereas a bike-compatible road can end up with road hogging cars giving no space for bikes, and I’m booked having to “filter through” when there’s traffic - which also increases risks for the cyclists

Where’s the bike lane?
you mean bike path, right?
No, I don’t.
Don’t be pedantic, especially when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

/s in case it wasn’t glaringly obvious
Fuck bike lanes. This gives the road to bikes, and forces cars to go slower

It’s really fun to force cars to go slowrt than bikes. Fuck cars.
You’re in the wrong community my dude
Nope. Fuck cars. All roads should be for cyclists.

And also not understanding of the average Rochester hills driver.
You can do what you want but kids use bikes too while making unpredictable misjudged decisions.
