Someone forgot that bike lanes should actually have space for a bike. And maybe not cobblestones.
Legally, combined footpath/bike lanes over here should have a minimum width of 2.3m. Between line and tree there is less than 0.8m.

I refuse to bike on this kind of lane. I just bike on the road, f that.
To shreds you say?
They have many of these where I live. The worst part is that the police will fine cyclists and scooter riders for riding on the road. So everyone is forced onto the sidewalk where scooters scoot between pensioners, kids, and mothers with strollers. What an idiotic backwards system. Peasants, give way to cars. Fudalistic mentality.
You live in the US I presume?
Here in Lyon, France, the local government is removing car lanes downtown so we get wider bike lanes. Some are not happy about it, but if you look at the number of people passing through at rush hour, cyclists really outnumber cars, and bike traffic is never jammed.

my bad. I guess city and road planning is very car-centric as well.
