As a cyclist, I am greatly saddened by the "bike lane" implementation as a whole. Grow-up and learn to accept the hazards of living and riding on the cruel streets of Raleigh. If the City of Raleigh really wants "bike lanes" fabricated from street that were designed originally for motor vehicle traffic, they should have decreased the motor vehicle speed to a reasonable limit like 25 or 35. You have not lived until you have felt the burst of wind from a car traveling 65+ in a 45 mph next to a bike lane. I would prefer to see "bike" only roadways rather than the hair-brain bike lanes.
I cautiously put 2K miles a year on the Raleigh streets and Greenways via my bike. I prefer biking on Europe' roads and streets to Raleigh's bike lanes.
As the saying goes for cyclist, You can be dead right, or a cautious survivor or Raleigh traffic. You life depends on your action's, not on some bureaucrats assumption about what a trendy might please some small voting constituency. As a whole I have been embarrassed by the poor utilization of the existing bike lanes on Raleigh's streets.
Get-out there and ride, ride, ride. With enough riders we might demonstrate the value of bike lanes. But as they stand now they are just a monument to another poor local government.

I agree with you, Mark. We have very few bike facilities that are safe and comfortable in our city.
But I prefer to have a bike lane over nothing - they are shown to account for a small increase in safety over sharrows or having nothing at all. Agree that I would prefer a slower street, but just lowering the speed limit would not work - they'd have to redesign the streets or add a bunch of speed humps. Its a tall order to redesign a bunch of major roads to be slower - probably a political impossibility currently. Bike lanes are put in by default now when a major road is re-surfaced or a new road built and while I want more, thats better than just resurfacing with no bike lane, which is the other option.
I'd like to see better, but I do want the bike lanes we have to be kept clear.
I encourage you to come to a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission meeting and share your concerns.
