Armitage Ave is the “best” way to get from Wicker Park/Bucktown to Lincoln Park/the beach/LFT on bikes but it still sucks #PaintIsNotProtection

"Segregated cycle lanes – those physically separated from cars – were popular with both regular cyclists and regular drivers. Painted lanes on the road were far less liked, while the option of having no cycle lanes at all was the least popular with both groups."

South on Broadway in the #BikeNYC lane; it’s is only painted on the street #PaintIsNotProtection. One of those moments “is it really worth it when drivers are so bad?” Intro 2159 was to allow anyone to report illegal parking/driving in a bike lane.

Thank you Ald. Manaa-Hoppenworth for talking about creating safe streets and preventing more tragic deaths, making it plain that #PaintIsNotProtection, and pushing on eTOD in today's CDOT budget hearing!

There are so many #EverdayIndignities for #BikeNYC posted thru the years to different site. Not enough improvement, IMO #PaintIsNotProtection March 2023

This afternoon I witnessed a driver tailgate a bicyclist in the Elston bike lane southbound near Sacramento for TWO BLOCKS before cutting back into the car lane. #paintisnotprotection #bikechi

Warum wir kein Kölner Standard wollen, sondern Infrastruktur!

Wir brauchen
➡️ sichere Wege für Alle
➡️ Ladezonen für Handel & Gastro

Wir brauchen keine
➡️ Gefährdung von Menschen
➡️ Zerstörung der Wege durch Falschparker

20 minute neighbourhoods need properly segregated cycle lanes, not paint.

This photo is from 2017, but the problem persists. #PaintIsNotProtection. Until there is real physical separation, and not just a painted lane or a flex-i-straw-post-dingy-truckmagnet, we will continue to have cars parked in #BikeNYC lanes.

Timing is everything; love it when I catch this light just turning green.
Getting thru here is probably the most dangerous part of my #bikecommute so the faster the better. Thank god that disappearing bike gutter paint will protect me, right Mayor Whitmire?

I just almost got hit by someone riding a bicycle on the sidewalk on Lawrence near Kimball at night. I can’t blame him, because the narrow painted bike lanes there aren’t safe. #bikechicago #paintisnotprotection

My route decision is always decided upon how many opportunities do drivers have to run me over? The "fastest route" hardly wins except M-F no parking 7a-9a that one will always be my favorite route 💚💚💚 #paintisnotprotection

Good morning to everyone who knows that #PaintIsNotProtection BUT it's still better to have paint than no paint, between the bus stop and the stores in the Federal Plaza parking lot.

This is why I want PROTECTED bike infrastructure on Penn Ave. I PATRONIZE businesses in the #stripdistrictpittsburgh. I spend money in the #stripdistrict, I am not there to dumpster dive. #PaintIsNotProtection @bikepgh.bsky.social
Spring way is already traffic calming because it flips one way directional often. It is also an alley full of disgusting dumpsters & illegally parked cars. I actually patronize businesses *on* Penn Ave, not dumpster dive. I & all cyclists deserve easy access to businesses just like SUV owners. 👍
