Also fuck city planners and residents who refuse to create routes for cyclists and pedestrians that are meaningfully separated from car routes.
I agree, but there are bike routes along there.
Meaningfully separated! Physically protected from 60mph hunks of flying metal.

We do have separate bike lanes on the bypass here, too, but some kinds of bikers simply don't use them. Those wannabe-tour-de-france-bikers always drive on the road on weekends. All normal bike drivers use the bike lane, because it is actually better off than the road. They were built at the same time, but on that roads there is a lot of heavy truck traffic between the quarry and the motorway. Looks like most of them don't do this for real training, but to hang out their spandex-clad butts to anyone who would like to pass.
