The Bicycle Lane...

I think is one of the dumbest inventions (if its an invention) well its one of the stupidest things ever made in my opinion. Its also one of my BIGGEST pet peeves and here's why...!

1. Because it's RIGHT NEXT TO TRAFFIC!

2. IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO TRAFFIC!

3. IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO TRAFFIC!

You (in general) are riding your bike in a lane (if that what you want to call it) that's anywhere from a few inches to maybe a 1or 2 feet! While cars are HURLING AT YOU AT SPEEDS FROM 30 to 40 to 50 or 60+ mph!

WHAT SENSE DOES THAT MAKE?!

LOL, I don't get it, some people are actually struggling to stay in the lane, their wheel is whobbling and everything, when there's a SIDEWALK  right next to them! GET ON IT!  It's what it is made for! So if you do fall, you don't end up being road kill! Cars actually slow down traffic too, almost go in the next lane, just to give enough comfortable distance so they don't hit you! So my question to you who do ride in the bicycle lane, WHY?! LOL just why? I don't get it!
