I am not a believer on bike lanes to begin with. I don't think bike lane has resolved traffic jams as much as cyclists claimed. One should study how much slowdown do cyclists caused on motorists trying to make right turns. When cyclists, specially those on e-bikes, see a vehicle making right turns slowly, they would speed up from behind and flying straight through the intersection, yelling at the motorist as they passed you.

I do not mind sharing the roads with cyclists as long as they obey the laws and there are police enforcing them. I have not seen cyclist being fine for not having head/tail lights, do you expect motorist would get the same treatment when they have no lights whatsoever? Their attitude towards motorists are hostile and they truly believed that they have a chip on their shoulder. The word courtesy is not in their vocabulary. Any time an accident occur involving a motorist and a cyclists, they would jump to the conclusion that the motorist is at fault.

Stop hiding behind the benefit shield of Green Environment and Healthy Life Styles, if cyclists would ride on the bike lanes in snowy days and -20 degree Celsius then they may deserve bike lanes. Otherwise please consider using the sidewalk walking/jogging/running as your commuting options.
