There is a bike lane in our city that‘s barely a meter wide, not protected from cars and has parking spaces right next to it. If you don‘t keep a meter distance to the parked cars and someone opens a door and you crash into it, your partly at fault. However cars driving on your left are supposed to keep 1.5 meters distance or they aren‘t allowed to pass. They however do not care at all and will pass you even if there are just a few centimeters of space and if you say something, you‘re the asshole.
At least the city already has plans to widen the bike lane. Hopefully they‘ll get rid of the parking spaces. Those shouldn’t be on main roads anyway imo.
bike lanes without protection from cars are fucking terrifying

That’s right, don’t settle for less!
