ridiculous to worry about bike lanes: nobody uses them anyway ...
in Colorado, the “bike capital” of the USA, i’ve never seen a single bicycle on the multi-million dollar concrete bike lane in the middle of the Boulder-Denver turnpike, and i expect the same amount of bicycle traffic on the multi-million dollar concrete bike lane being built in the middle of the Diagonal Highway between boulder and Longmont, though the vehicle traffic jams are legion on both highways ...
If it saves just one life..... Suck it up, Bernie Bro’!
