I'm confused about the bicycle lanes. Around the Johnson Parkway area there's a stretch of Prosperity that has an extra lane painted on it, too small for a car. I've always supposed it's a bike lane, though no one ever bikes on it. Bicyclists tend to use the sidewalk, where it's safer.
So is that really a bike lane painted on the road? Are cars supposed to yield to bicyclists? Are cars allowed to drive over that lane when there aren't any bikes in sight? Can motorcycles drive in that lane?
And why does whoever came up with idea (of bike lanes) think that the average citizen will have any fewer questions about it than I do? I've asked over a dozen people about those lanes and the best answer I've gotten has been "I think it's for bikes." 'I think...' They think, but they don't KNOW.
Biking to work is a nice idea, but like the idea of growing all your own food, it's not workable without a major overhaul and a LOT of training.
