    If I were a cyclist in that neighbourhood I would ride my bike through the no bike lanes signs. If you won’t let me have a lane where else do you expect me to cycle?

      Ride safely in these particular streets, follow every traffic law and take the lane. People might hate you, or realize a protected area will keep the traffic separated sO pEoPlE cAn gO fAsT.

      I don’t like irritating people I disagree with as a tactic, but sometimes a little friction helps to make a point.

      Of course, the doofi may decide to try banning bicycles outright instead 🤦

        The lanes already exist so in reality I would be using the lanes but my previous comment is the overall sentiment I have.

        “Everyone drives here” is such a biased reason for no bike lanes and the fact it connects kids to schools should make this a non protestable issue. Are you able to protest a school bus stop because your neighbours have kids but you don’t?

          People literally do that though.
