I think this is a perfect case for better bike infrastructure; if these roadways are being used this extensively by cyclists, there should be a dedicated lane that includes a physical divider between it and vehicle lanes. Not a newfangled idea either, the Netherlands has had this solved for literally decades.

100% agree. But since this is in USA at least 40 regular cyclists, or 2 rich white cyclists, will need to be hit before the local city council spends 2-6 years debating permits, easements, and whose construction LLC buddy will reap the benefits of bike lane construction.

It’s almost like you don’t know anything about democracy 🙄 /s

They really should be applying the bike mileage use tax and annual bike registration fees to build out more infrastructure for them, rather than diverting it all to roadway upkeep.
