Let's give the city engineers and road designers a break. It's not their fault we don't have bike lanes. It's like Hiro11 said, in the US roads are for cars. We don't allocate any tax dollars for stinking bike lanes.
Make me wonder, it we had tax dollars to spend, what would be the priority?
Better schools/teacher pay?
High speed rail?
A Wall? (Ha!)
Bike lanes....humm.
