The Rise of Protected Bike Lanes
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
Across the country, more Americans are choosing to get around by bike. Cities are encouraging this trend by building protected bikes lanes. Protected bike lanes are on-street bike lanes that are separated from motorized traffic by curbs, planters, parked cars, or posts. Since 2011, the number of miles of protected bike lanes has doubled.

deep south Texas has the worst bike lanes

Bike lanes were a terrible idea in Memphis. No one uses them and they have created more traffic because two lanes streets have become one laners. I'm not against them but I don't think heavily trafficked streets should loose a lane.

Where is the protection? The painted line? If a car miraculously crosses the painted line and hits me I'm still dead. This is a clear demonstration of Darwinism at work.

Could you point me to where the "50 % of all trips are less than 4 miles" come from?

Great video!

I wish we had these lanes in Salt Lake City,I doubt it will happen, drivers out here are SELFISH and dont like to share the road with anybody!

Thanks for the great informative video! I love the new bike lanes in New York! Agree that they are building a community :)

I support that we as a community encourage everyone to ride their bikes the benefits to mind and body are great and to the community. But the riders who brake the laws because they feel entitled are the ones who make the all riders look bad.Bike lanes are here to stay to you riders please respect the rules of the road

My city has bike lanes on some of its downtown streets... hardly anybody uses them, they kill off traffic lanes and turn lanes for cars, they complicate parking, and bicyclists still act like they own the road, all of it. Waste of space and money. If cyclists want motorists to respect them, maybe they shouldn't bike the wrong way down one-way streets when they feel like it, or blow through red lights, stop signs, and Don't Walk signs because they feel special-snowflake entitled to avoid losing momentum.

Way to go Chicago! What a great investment in the future for the Citizens of Chicago. Lets hope other Cities around the World are watching. Kudos to all
