This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah I have seen a "bike lane" being created by just painting the road, which is obviously not great. Bikes parked on the sidewalk are a symptom of missing parkings, as I mentioned, which is also why pushing for cycling requires more than lanes, requires parking spots and supporting infrastructure.
Also, I share part of your pain. Sometimes it happens that I cycle on bike and pedestrian roads (I.e., meant for both) and I need to dodge parked scooters, especially those parked in front of ramps. Unfortunately there is no infrastructure or planning that is asshole-proof.
They didn't create parking spaces for bikes, either. And occasionaly, the "bike lane" is interrupted by single parking lots for cars of handicapped people. Basically good, but sucks to be a biker there. As I said, the mayoress is a mayor f-up, and her chances of re-election for this and other reasons are close to nil.
