    Even with that massive sign in the way there’s still way more room for bikes in this pic than there is anywhere near me. Most places are under 10cm, many are 0-3cm. High speed limits too. Yeah nobody even tries biking here.

      Wdym, under 10cm? That can’t be right, can it?

      If you mean a line that close to the sidewalk, that’s usually an indicator whether parking is allowed.

        No, just one lane each direction, people driving 80+km, a line on the side, then 2cm over it’s a ditch. Lots of heavy construction and landscaping trucks on the road too. We don’t have sidewalks. You can’t ride bikes here.

          I ride almost everywhere, but that does sound quite risky. Plenty of spots like that in the US as well when you’re in the countryside, unfortunately.

            The US countryside isn’t nearly as dangerous as the outskirts of US cities. That’s where I drive. I wish I could bike it. Too many memorial bicycles on the sides of the road.

              It’s tough everywhere I guess. Countryside is quiet, but there’s no shoulder in some curvy spots, and some drivers didn’t want to wait to pass.
