There is a bike path, but... 🤷

Two steps forward, one step back. :)

Bratislava: čo vzniklo v roku 2022

Napriek pomerne veľkému počtu rozbehnutých projektov mesta na výstavbu kvalitných oddelených cyklotrás sa ani v roku 2022 nedostala žiadna z nich do realizačnej fázy. Najbližšie k realizácii sú zrejme cyklotrasy na Mlynských nivách, Hradskej či O4 v Petržalke. Samostatné cestičky V tejto kategórii "pribudla" len jedna trasa realizovaná mestom, aj to je len (takmer) kozmetická...

@ticho ah, isn't it wonderful when local administrations use sidewalks as bike infrastructure creating unnecessary conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians that just want to get somewhere? All just so we don't upset His Majesty, the Motor Vehicle.

@petrescatraian @notjustbikes @ticho isn't there a pedestrian path on the left of the image? You can see someone walking there

@dango_ Yea, I can see that, but I see that it ends abruptly on the segment with the bike lane. Basically after the crossing, the bike lane starts.

@petrescatraian @notjustbikes @dango_ The bike path actually continues further back in the photo, but is shared with pedestrians, and that section is further narrowed by a concrete fence on the left and parked cars on the right. Plus, the surface is all cracked uneven asphalt. I'm glad I have a mountain bike. :)
