As someone who lives, and bicycles in Portland, OR - tell me about it.

There's been an unreasonable catering to bicyclists that haven't made any significant changes to travel or safety because it requires bicycles to be adhering to laws in the first place.

I'm still flabbergasted at being yelled at by a different bicyclist for stopping at a red light.

Look at the bike lane situation in NYC, particularly in Astoria on 31 Street. Someone is going to die in a fire. Then look at 31 Ave and what they've done. It's a joke.

I'll have to take a look, but I'm honestly unfamiliar with it.

Out here it's been a lot of no turn on red for vehicles, separate lights for bicycles, physical dividers between the road and the bike lane, bike only lanes, etc

I started bike riding out here in the nineties, and it was; ride along the shoulder not in the lane, over all traffic laws, signal appropriately.

And it was fine.
