Protected Bike Lanes

What are your thoughts on protected bike lanes?

Do you feel we should have more of them? Do you think we should just have better access to the roadways instead?

What do you all think about this topic?

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong in having a better access to the roadways as it creates more room to ride freely but it should always be at the back of our minds about the risks of accidents with cars as well as having road rage all the time.

Having more protected bike lanes solves this problem to a greater extent which is why I'm fully in support of it.
