      You’ll also notice, in that Solo Stove abomination of a state, a distinct lack of cyclists. Because for huge chunks of the year, it’s way, way too hot outside to walk or ride a bike the incredible distances necessary to go anywhere.

        It should be noted that the season for comfortable walking and biking could be greatly extended also with the addition of street trees and a reduction in asphalt.

        Bad drivers and the bike lanes are very intermittent too. The only road I regularly bike on with a bike lane (I try for smaller roads which aren’t deemed busy enough for a bike lane) usually has enough cars parked in the bike lane to make it useless. The bigger bike laned roads I ride on the sidewalk.

          in Germany you get fined for using the side walk with your bike, if there are dedicated bike lanes. But than again we have real repercussions for unlawful driving and people could even lose their license if they endanger cyclists like that
