I think the issue with this argument is that there are more vehicles on the road now...and more importantly a lot more distracted drivers.



how is a bike lane going to save you from someone more worried about posting selfies to Instagram?

It would certainly have to be a better option than riding in the same lane as the distracted driver

Right, if I have to veer outside of the bike lane to avoid a parked car I have more chances of being hit by a texter.

As a cyclist with common sense I should look back and make sure there are no cars...that's hard to explain to a child riding in a neighborhood. I definitely teach my kid to be aware, but I'd prefer to err on the side of caution here...she doesn't always listen.
