    The city I’m in has gone crazy putting in bike lanes. Never seen a bike on it.

      Are they protected bike lanes, or a line on the normal street that cars swerve through to turn and park

        Protected. But with plastic things that I could easily take out if I felt like it.

          That wouldn’t feel safe to me, I’d probably illegally use the sidewalk just to not get grey hairs for riding a bicycle.

          That said, it does take time. I’ve started seeing people use bike lanes here after over a year of them being marked and barricaded

      What might be happening is that an equivalent number of people using bike lanes and cars results in a much smaller impact and apparent usage on bike lanes.
