One or the other ... no need to do BOTH
I'm joking of course.
Cycle lanes are a pointless token gesture and an attempt to address a badly outdated and inadequate road infrastructure. They cause congestion by restricting vehicle traffic flow and do little to protect cyclists, especially considering the way in which they are poorly implemented, with short stretches of disjointed lanes, broken by bus stops, side streets and on-street parking.
It's a complete mess. We need to rethink and redo the entire road infrastructure, giving bikes and motor vehicles their own space. But, since that's unlikely to happen any time soon, I think we all just need to learn to coexist and show more consideration towards each other.
