It’s basically an IRL Happy Wheels level.
Look, it even has the speed booster thing that launches you into the gauntlet!
I love how the made sure to get a helmet painted on that cyclist icon
When bike lanes are made (designed) by those who never use them…
Yup. as a huge truck driver and also as a bicyclist, I’m always very aware of bike lanes, especially these mergey-switchy areas. I have been the bicyclist in this situation before and I have been hit by a car in even less-dangerous traffic patterns before. I’m very conscientious about bicyclists when I’m driving.
I wouldn’t mind too much. Just gonna take me a few minutes to get up to merging speed.
There’re thousands of less painful ways to quit. It’s for people who are both suicidal and adventurous lol.
That’s why we call those type of “bike lanes” a murder strip.
Have them where I live too.
All around Vic, too. They generally don’t even put in a bike lane, just say “use the emergency lane”. Here’s a sequence of images for one on the freeway in to Melbourne from Ballarat, starting from the onramp:
This whole stretch of freeway is 110 km/h (70mph). There are skid marks where vehicles have bailed out of a failing 110km/h merge.
The shoulder is the emergency lane. It’s where drivers pull over into if there’s an unavoidable hazard ahead or their brakes are failing or something.
There used to be a sign “helping” cyclists already on the freeway by telling them “cross here with care”:
But it was obliterated by a vehicle:
I was looking to find the mangled remains of a cycle embedded in the turf just off the side of one of those images.
4PWQ2WR3+MQ here’s a plus code for ye (apparently Google’s open-source alternative coordinate thing and their solution to unaddressed areas)
I got “Invalid Dynamic Link” on your link.
Same. Not sure what happened there. Have replaced with it’s lat long.
Hey man, it’s fuck cars, not fuck bikes.
Painted bicycle gutters are car infrastructure. Bicycle infrastructure would be to remove a car lane and have a concrete barrier (or remove the road entirely)
I mean, it’s an example of cars fucking over bikes. Relevant enough imo
Where is this monstrosity?

Looks like the meme was made from this twitter post.
I’m not sure if this is just hilariously optimistic, or some kind of sinister and deliberate murder-by–urban-planning
Neither. The highway engineer got told to add a bike lane, said “ugh fine” and scribbled it along the side without thinking about it.
Nobody’s expecting these to be used, it’s some quota where they have to build X number of kms of bike lane so the politicians can placate us and hope nobody notices.
the first one would be my guess. They just haven’t thought it through remotely
ok
Eh, I’ve ridden on worse
