@NilaJones @HayiWena @ai6yr Cyclists don't travel on the main road because the main road is crap. Most cyclists (and here I'm including all the cyclists that choose not to ride because the destination isn't safe) don't /want/ to zig zag and take parking lots and alleys, they choose to get where they are going safely and efficiently. For some that means zigzag, most that means just not biking. But to my point above, a painted bike lane next to 45mph cars is not a sufficient bike lane.
@DemonHusky @NilaJones @HayiWena How about this grand idea here (now removed) from a few years ago? (speed limit 65, people driving up to 75mph or more).
