Crappy Bikes Lanes: In Pictures

Crap-Cycle-Lanes--by-Warr-001Anyone who has ever ridden a bicycle knows how useless bike lanes are when they are a) not enforced, b) not respected by cabbies and other drivers, c) not maintained, d) way too small, or e) all of the above.

Check out this awesome Flickr group of photos about crap bike lanes, brought together by the Guardian, and inspired by the Warringron Cycle Campaign’s new book. If you have any of your own post about them in the comments and upload them to the Flickr group. Some excellent ones below.

    This is an amazing project. The crappy thing about the bike lanes in LA is mostly that they don’t exist. Where we have them, they seem to be as nice and wide as the streets they’re next to.
