Bicycle lane? What did the leftist expect when they put in a lane just for slow moving bicycles within a couple feet of fast moving cars and 10 ton vehicles, traveling 2-5 times fast than these slow moving vulnerable bicycles?

It’s a recipe for brutal death and disaster and noways bicycles going under the wheels is a common occurrence.

You are 100% correct.

I am a licensed professional engineer, and I will NEVER affix my seal on a street design with a bike lane that has no physical barrier separating the bikes from the vehicular traffic -- for exactly the reasons you've stated there.

Bingo! I saw the carnage coming when they started converting road shoulders to 'bicycle lanes'. Stupid.

On a side note, I understand it is not against the law to ride a bicycle on the freeways/interstates in Colorado. I can only surmise it’s because of the topography.
