Bike lanes - are they real, or just an LGU gimmickry

Wheels of Happiness






This post would like to think that bike lanes were real legislative effort of LGU in response to pandemic, to enable many of the populace be mobile using their bikes.   DOTR has a huge budget for bike lanes. Perhaps, the bike lanes did get a lot of votes from the biker segment of the society  (It could be huge)

However my observation reveals that:   there are very few bikers using this;  this mostly occupied by MC and those without barriers are used by jeepneys, tricycles and cars for their motoring, in violation of the intended use of the bike lane.

This post is not complaining but merely pointing out our mindset towards laws and projects which we do not intend to pursue seriously.  And those bikers must learn to be more wary, and not complacent when they use bike lanes.  They need not be angry, frustrated or even go on bike rage (haha excuse the pun)

Excuse me.   No bike lanes
