Why the fuck is there a bike lane on the motorway

Things like these are generally to satisfy environmental or urban development legislation or to get some kind of government grant for the project. Bikeability/walkability on paper for the beauracrats.

Same reason you see a row of like five bike racks on the side of giant multistory parking garages.

I'm like 90% sure this is in Orlando and every time I drove by I thought about how fucked that bike lane is.

Is this real??! Where is this located??

As a cyclist I have to say, this is so bad and on so many levels that I couldn't stop laughing. Many bike lanes are made poorly, but this is clearly one of the worst I 've seen.
