Bike trails and wide sidewalks are so much safer than bike-lanes.
If it saves one life get rid of bike lanes. At least make them go in the opposite direction of traffic and make bicyclists obey all traffic laws.
The only time I have been hit by car I was in a bike lane. A woman driver had stopped at a stop sign, with her car perpendicular to the bike lane. I would have sworn that she looked me in the eye as I was about to pass in front of her. She accelerated right into me. Fortunately I was not seriously hurt, and the bike was only scratched a little.
