There's one particular bike lane on my commute that I hate. There are cars parked all along the road and it's a single line placed 3-4ft away from the average car. Any above average sized vehicle or poorly parked vehicle takes up some or all of the "bike lane".
I refuse to cycle in it, but I can feel the judgement of every driver trying to pass me. I would much rather that cycle lane wasn't there.
I was pacing the vehicle in front of me and briefly took the lane around an s curve on a town street sharrows, a couple blocks from a stop sign. The guy behind me closed the following distance to intimidate me and when I went up on the sidewalk and yelled at him at the stop sign, he told me to go ride on a bike path.
He put my life at unnecessary risk for the offense of being on a designated bike street...
