No, there should be fewer "bike lanes" in the US. Bike lanes are silly unless they are separate "roads" as in the Netherlands. There is absolutely zero chance of this happening in the US. Just stop with the pretense and stop giving cyclists a false sense of security. I rode a bike all over Los Angeles as a teen before the bike lane fantasies took hold. That takes a different set of survival skills and attitude than the suicidal bike lane followers of today. What we do now is just killing cyclists.

Bike lanes work quite well in the city I live in. Make cycling -- which I do regularly -- much safer than without.
if you're cycling on US roads in 2025, you're primarily motivated by feelings other than safety.
