In Ottawa, bike lanes mean nothing when cyclists keep on using the road instead of the fully segregated, paved, beautiful bike lane that runs right along the road… I still cannot understand what, presumably logical reason, they have for doing this
They must have a good reason because driving with entitled cars trying to murder you suuuucks.
That’s what I’m guessing and trying to understand. I bike too but casually and only for fun so not the same as people who commute on bikes
