A bike parts company ditched Amazon to support indie shops instead

This echoes a lot of my feelings about bike lanes, do you have any references to traffic studies or the like showing that these kinds of lanes are, indeed, more dangerous?

I'd be especially curious to know what the good alternatives are.

IIRC physical dividers like reflector poles actually do make bike lanes safer, and sharrows are mixed on whether or not they make lanes more effective.

Here's a video that illustrates my point better than what I commented, and there are some studies cited in the description which validate my admittedly anecdotal experience.
