Protected bike lanes are popping up all over, yet most cyclists I know still ride on sidewalks because the lanes don't connect to key destinations. In my city, we spent $4 million on a 2-mile lane that ends right before a busy mall entrance—pointless for commuters. Is investing in bike infrastructure a genuine way to reduce car traffic, or are we just painting lines to look green? I'd argue that unless the network links homes to jobs and shops, it's barely worth the concrete. What's your take—should we prioritize bike lanes over widening roads for cars?
