A Picture is Worth... That's the Bike Path? Good Luck!

Narrow Bike Path next to Water

Not quite as good as Denmark, is it? Apparently it's a joke in Amsterdam. Via ::reddit

I get the same feeling on streets in the US. They have a bike lane next to traffic going 50 mph and consider that a bike trail. Obviously those who bike don't designate these bike lanes.

Looks just like the piece of marked bike lane near the courthouse on Brooklyn Bridge Boulevard in Downtown Brooklyn coming from the Brooklyn Bridge. The path is separated from the service lane by 2 rows of cobblestone looking bricks.

It's not really like that in Amsterdam. I went there a few months ago, and bike dominated the streets. It was hard to walk without getting hit by a bike.

P-Or-tland has a bridge like this, but it has a curb on the left side that if you fall off from, you are in the narrow and busy traffic lane with no where to go but under a car. The right side is the bridge railing, which if you hit a pedal against, you're tossed into the street. No one rides on that bridge.

Doesn't matter how big the bike lanes are. I go to UGA and I regularly find people ignoring them and crossing over or partially crossing over and blocking them completely. Yet to see it happen with a biker in the way :)
