It’s better than the “share the road” ones I think.
If it stops people from parking or driving in the bike lane I’m for it.
Local city has no bike infrastructure whatsoever. Not even a hint besides the remember to share ones.

Better than anything in my city.

No. It is dangerous, less dangerous than other options, still dangerous.
Look at the Netherlands for good ways of doing cycle lanes (although there are also bad ones there)

I do. Although I don’t ride there, nor am I tax payer or voter in that community. You can read my approval endorsement at the next public hearing to discuss additional funding round for capital expenditures to add these similarly on other heavily trafficked dual purpose routes if you want.

No because in my town generally car drivers are not arseholes. Guess it’s different elsewhere . Secondly the bike lanes are now full of tyre puncturing crap because the car tyres aren’t clearing them out anymore.

Dude, I don’t even get a shoulder on 85% of my rides, and we have zero bike lanes. That looks like heaven to me.

Yes. Approve.

In Budapest, Hungary the recently installed these rubber thingies on a big avenue and they are far better then the concrete/metal ones, they take up less space, easier to replace, basically does the same job and most importantly, IF there’s a crash it will just bend instead of bashing your head in.
Quick and easy fix to create a separated bike lane.
Maybe they’ll add a permanent concrete separator in the future.

A lot better than what I’ve got.

You have to be looking for things to get upset about to not like this.
In general though I don’t love the “traffic-ication” of cycling. I want to ride my bike and have fun doing it, not participate in the cycling version of driving your commute.

I would be absolutely thrilled if my city had these.

Just watch out for the driveways. Problem will still be turning into/pulling out of driveway without checking bike lane. All they check is the actual road.
