> I absolutely hate and dislike bike lanes. They are nothing but urban sabotage.

You probably have never seen them done properly. Many implementations especially in North America are indeed urban sabotage for everyone involved.



I have not studied ALL cities in the US, but in Seattle, SF, and Portland new bike lanes in more than 90% of cases carry _less_ traffic than the car lane that they had replaced. For the rest 10% there isn't enough data.

They quite literally sabotage traffic.

Heck, even Berlin that is supposed to be "transit heaven" is waking up: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/06/26/cyclists-b...
