Those of us who try to bike in the city often find that even the dedicated bike lanes are less than optimal.

We are so shameless and this is such a good idea that we set up a Flickr set at treehuggerbikelane. Submit your picture (or just email it to lloyd (at) treehugger (dot) com and maybe we will turn it into a contest!
UPDATE: Peter Owens of the Warrington Cycle Campaign supplied this picture to the BBC and dozens more like it.
