> The problem is, when there is a 20 car queue stuck behind two cyclists riding next to each other, cruising along at 30kph in a 100kph zone (yes, this actually happens, often)
At least in the part of Australia I live in the only roads that are 100km/h are highways and bikes aren’t allowed there. I’ve yet to see this particular scenario. I don’t want to say it doesn’t happen but I don’t think it’s as common as it’s made out to be here
I do 100% agree on separated lanes with barriers or dedicated paths for bikes. Keeping it separate, even as a dedicated bike lane with a small barrier is so much better than trying to share the road with parked cars or crappy pot holes.
Ultimate I also think people just need to learn empathy. Loosing a minute of your commute isn’t worth getting angry.
