woe is you thinking the bike lane is anything more than an extended turn lane, especially outside of California.
we should all be more like Frayedpickles here and mow down the bikes in the bike only lane, teach them that they should keep their weak aluminum a-frames off our glorious car lanes.
I don't get this reaction. Cars should be in the bike lane for turning because after dooring the most common way to get injured is getting hooked by a turning car. Where I live we don't really have bike lanes, but when you do have them cars don't tend to look for you passing and turn as soon as they are signaled to do so.
just like school shootings, this seems to not be an issue in the rest of the world.
