I was so confused with your comment until i remembered there are countries without bike lanes. Still weird to claim them the same size as a van
this monstrosity, that can fit one backpack and bag of groceries into its cargohold, doesn't fit in any bike lane, unless that bike lane is as wide as the one for cars. so it needs space in the car lane and is maybe slightly shorter, but that's not really significant difference.
also do you imagine all bike lanes full of these? yeah, that would solve the congestion problem for sure ;)
This is an extra wide one, the picture description is complaining that it takes the whole one-direction bike lane (that's a third of a road lane).
you must have really generously designed roads wherever you are ๐
Well yes, a single lane is defined as at least 3.65 meters, while a bike lane can't be wider than 1.70 meters, so it's 2.14 lanes of bikes for each car at the very least, but it's mostly more since bikes can turn tighter and don't need as much space for intersections.
