I just rode by this evening in the rain...the paint made it a little slick. Other than that, I think it's a pretty kick ass addition. I'm hoping they are soon all over the place.

Although, ultimately, I think I'd still like to see them try a dedicated bike lane between the parallel parked cars and the curb. So there'd be even more of a buffer.

I agree, a separated bike lane would be ideal!

...until then I'll take what I can get. :-)

Putting bike lanes between parked cars and the curb is a REEALLY bad idea. Increases the chance you'll get right-hooked by overtaking cars or left-hooked by on-coming cars.

Mighk,

I am talking about a physically separated bike lane. I'm not sure exactly what you think is REEALLY BAD about this idea. The bike lanes that we have now are a false sense of security for a lot of people.
