What if you would rather stay in the bicycle lane instead of terrorizing pedestrians? Quite a lot of taxes were paid for those lanes. Use them, and stay out of my headset.
E.g. in Germany many pedestrians, especially tourists, tend to think that bycicle lanes are fancily-painted sidewalks
Interesting. In Switzerland I see exactly the opposite. The country is full of empty bike lanes, and pedestrian zones which are overran by cyclists and e-scooters (of course they are adjacent to the mentioned empty lanes).
