The only benefit they have is getting federal funds for a given town and making the local useful idiots feel better about themselves in their misguided attempts to "change the world". It's obvious none of these dum dums know anything about cycling.

I avoid them like the plague. If that angers motorists that is a good thing because they vote and anything I can do to sabotage cycling rights, if that is definesd as ruining more of our roads for this stupidity, it's only a good thing. The fact that these bike lane monstrosities are so unpopular, met with such negative reaction, and constantly empty at the cost of huge oceans of red lights in one or two lanes along what used to be a pretty free flowing 4 lane road tells you everything about what a stupid idea they are.
