Separated bike lane is the only way. Anything else is knowingly getting bikers killed.

Nuh uh. My city painted pictures of bicycles on the asphalt in the right lane of a busy road, so now drivers know it’s also for bikes and it’s suuuuuper safe.

That’s what Big Bike Lane doesn’t want you to know. You don’t need to build a bunch of infrastructure to separate cyclists and cars - you just need paint! Especially the new kind that wears off the road in less than a year and doesn’t get repainted.

Sharrows are worse than no bike lanes since they provide the illusion of safety while offering absolutely no protection.
