Bike lanes are typically seen as being environmentally friendly. But some Bay Area leaders say the one on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge is causing an increase in pollution.
Talking with cyclists it’s actually the opposite. It works in the sense that if someone is turning right they will get into the right lane and essentially self block a bicycle from pulling past them on the right side (if a cyclist did that they have a high likelyhood of getting hit as they are pulling into the cars blind spot… Then traffic starts moving and the right turning car just goes and suddenly there could be a bike there).
so I saw this comment like a week late after I bought my first adult bike yesterday, and this makes a ton of sense. I’m super worried about getting fucked while crossing an intersection while on a bike because of people turning right especially now. Good to know, thank you!
