I never see anyone use the bike lanes we have

Because they end after 2 blocks

^That's why.

A few disconnected, 5 block bike lanes with no physical protection do not promote cycling. Then people park in the unused lanes, essentially rendering what little bike lane there is moot...and people use your argument.

Because they are effectively useless.

I ride my bike sometimes... on the sidewalk. I'm not getting killed in one of those bike lanes.

The one on University is my favorite. The speed bump doesn't extend into it, which I guess makes sense, so cars swerve into it to avoid the speed bump.
