They put in protected bike lanes on big street near me. Bike lane-parking-traffic. So many ‘bike allies ‘ saying “it makes me more nervous to drive, I have to look for the cyclists now”.
In a large part of the US at least, it’s never going to be default behavior.
It makes me nervous as a cyclist, too. I think I’m safer taking the lane and navigating like a car than crossing a car’s path from a segregated right of way.
