That sign usually means no entry for bikes so I was confused for a moment
Don’t signs usually have a line through it when it means “no”, or is that just american signage?

European bike lanes (like this one should probably depict) are round and solid blue with a bike depicted on them.

bike lane

In Europe, lanes, where biking is prohibited are denoted by a round white sign with a relative wide red border (circle) and a bike depicted at its center.

if I didn’t already know better, i would have interpreted these two signs to be synonymous.
Yeah a / would make more intuitive.
Neither is more intuitive, it’s just what you’re used to, culturally. Europeans could equally go to America, see a white sign with black symbol and red border and remark upon learning that it indicates a bike lane ‘That’s just not intuitive’.
Bike lanes in NA are denigrated by the police/delivery drivers parking in them.
