    Crossings should be safe for humans and bikes. Meaning, they should be short and bikes should not be ridden across intersections if no bike lane

      If there’s no bike lane, and bikes can’t ride across intersections, how on earth are bikes supposed to get around at all?

        Get off the bike and push it.

        I know, it’s not a great solution but think about it - if you’re on a bike you’re faster than a pedestrian and there’s a high chance a car won’t see you if they aren’t already stopped (assuming there’s no traffic light to regulate traffic).

          Doesn’t matter if the car sees me, I’ll see the car. I’m always careful. Any time my attention is compromised, I do get off. When I’m healthy and cautious, I ride.
