It's not a poor idea, but to work it would require further revamping of roadways. The bike lanes in most major areas are unlikely to support this well (given proximity to traffic, breaks in the lanes, etc).

It may end up moot -- the article reads a bit on the speculative side, and this project might fall the way of many startups of "good idea, bad implementation," but I'm willing to eat my words in the future on this.

Maybe we should require a plate for commercial use of the bike lane and use the money to fund more bike lanes.

This has been working in bike friendly cities in Europe for close to a decade for now. Perfect for the last mile transport, here in Sweden 90% of my packages get delivered with them.
