This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Yeah I have seen a "bike lane" being created by just painting the road, which is obviously not great. Bikes parked on the sidewalk are a symptom of missing parkings, as I mentioned, which is also why pushing for cycling requires more than lanes, requires parking spots and supporting infrastructure.
Also, I share part of your pain. Sometimes it happens that I cycle on bike and pedestrian roads (I.e., meant for both) and I need to dodge parked scooters, especially those parked in front of ramps. Unfortunately there is no infrastructure or planning that is asshole-proof.
They didn't create parking spaces for bikes, either. And occasionaly, the "bike lane" is interrupted by single parking lots for cars of handicapped people. Basically good, but sucks to be a biker there. As I said, the mayoress is a mayor f-up, and her chances of re-election for this and other reasons are close to nil.
