How a proper bike lane can make your life better, and break your heart
I was in the middle of making a video professing my love of a new safe, separated bike lane that was installed recently on my commute when I ran into fellow cyclist who offered a rather different opinion. Jane says she's happy the city installed the lanes and feels safe while riding them, but she was a bit more realistic than I was in her assessment of their merits. So I thought I'd offer both perspectives to show the potential of new bike infrastructure, but also remind us how far most North American cities have to go before we really understand bike-friendliness.
