Totally agree! It’s hard to summarize the many ways to die as a bicyclist in a single comment.

I learned the hard way that I was safer taking the lane and having some angry drivers (I guess OP would be happy to treat me like a car?) than to put myself in poorly designed bike lanes.

What you are describing shows that segregated bike lanes are really the cyclists ghetto. Built to kick us cyclists off the roads that the motorists believe are theirs. Look at China, they are building them now, what has changed? Remember the images of the Chinese going to work by bike? Of course, they need to make room for the car. Something like that happened in the Netherlands in the 1940's. We see it happening now in China and other places in Europe.
