When is a bike lane a bike lane?















I ripped this photo off from a post below. It is a photo of the night group ride, it is a great year for people pushing for more rides together, passing through the temp "bike lanes" through Queens Quay. Of course there is a car parked in the bike lane.

Toronto has done a miserable job of creating new bike lanes, even worse job of enforcing what we already have.

Can the politicians really take credit for building new bike lanes if it is simply a stripe on the road? Should the definition of a bike lane include that it not be used as a parking space and properly enforced? This is in addtion to it being properly designed and maintained 365 days of the year?

If it is then why do we let them get away with doing so little?
