Not a real problem, as proven by many countries where cycling is encouraged and supported

It definitely is a real problem, although I cannot say with certainty whether it's a significant enough problem to make curbside lanes worse than roadway lanes.

[lxgr]

The global consensus on which type is safer is not nearly as clear as you confidently make it out to be.

A lot of things need to be true for a curbside bike path to be safer than a roadside one, most importantly protection against dooring and ensuring visibility at intersections. If these measures are not taken, the result is often less safe.

It’s a real problem, just not an unsolvable one. But it will take a lot of awareness campaigns and time.

I bike in Chicago and curbed bike lanes recently installed are a big problem

[queenkjuul]

Really? I use them all the time without issue, unless someone has decided to park themselves in the intersection
