Someone forgot that bike lanes should actually have space for a bike. And maybe not cobblestones.
Legally, combined footpath/bike lanes over here should have a minimum width of 2.3m. Between line and tree there is less than 0.8m.

This is not mildly infuriating. This is extremely infuriating. But at least you have bike lanes
Most bike lane planners just assume that we can teleport through trees
Get a load of this guy who doesn’t have a quantum bike pssh
If I could teleport, I wouldn’t bike ;)
Yeah, bike paths always have least priority. Their main point is to show up in the “Our city has X kilometers of bike path” statistic.
Fucking millennials, first there’s too few trees, now there’s too many, can’t make up their minds, can they. /s
Leave the tree, remove the road.
I think I’ve gotten at the root of the problem
Based fediverse comment section
Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent:
Nun1 looks around at the scenery and says “Strange, I’ve never come this way before”
Nun2 replies, “yeah, it’s the cobblestones”
Still better than anything in my area
This is just bike lanes in general, it feels like they’re just painted in randomly to shut people up, except they’re just not practically useful.
This is US bike lanes in a nutshell
Engineers love painted bike lanes because they are shoulders/“recovery zones” for cars, but they can sell them as bike infrastructure
insert go ahead, die meme here
People park their cars in the bike lanes here 🤬
“George, George, George of the Jungle…” Plays in my head just from watching this 😄
I refuse to bike on this kind of lane. I just bike on the road, f that.
To shreds you say?
They have many of these where I live. The worst part is that the police will fine cyclists and scooter riders for riding on the road. So everyone is forced onto the sidewalk where scooters scoot between pensioners, kids, and mothers with strollers. What an idiotic backwards system. Peasants, give way to cars. Fudalistic mentality.
You live in the US I presume?
Here in Lyon, France, the local government is removing car lanes downtown so we get wider bike lanes. Some are not happy about it, but if you look at the number of people passing through at rush hour, cyclists really outnumber cars, and bike traffic is never jammed.

my bad. I guess city and road planning is very car-centric as well.
Thunderdome. Two enter, one leaves.
Watch it or the tree puns might take root
Tree was there first.
Not sure about that. This path was built in 1967. Could be they planted some slim trees and forgot that trees tend to grow.
