The Stupidest Bike Lane Ever Campaign
Sure, it's no surprise that every now in then, some city planners don't take bicycle transit seriously. They throw in a couple of completely useless token bike lanes just to say their city is bike-friendly, score some brownie points, and move on to the next luncheon, ribbon cutting, or strip club. If no one complains, then can go about their business pretending that they've made everyone happy.
That's why the guys at SlateV.com decided to go around drawing attention to these so-called bike lanes, an awareness campaign that I think is pretty impressively vigilant. Of course, bikers do have a reputation for going vigilante, but I digress. This is the type of stuff bikers should be doing to pressure their towns to take bike commuting seriously. Slate asked cyclists around the globe to report all stupid bike lanes, and the results came pouring in. Check out some of these idiotic lanes after the break.
