They're around to piss you off.

Lol Naru because the obvious alternative to a lane for bikes is to make pedestrians and bikers share the sidewalk

can't think of anything that could go wrong there....

let me guess - you're for intersections over roundabouts, too

The term "bike lane" is so confusing and nondescript...

The county sheriff still won't forgive me personally. I think it's because my bike was Japanese tho, and cops are racist pigs by default.

roundabouts are fucking retarded though

Are you 16? It's well-known that roundabouts do nothing but make traffic flow more smoothly.

Good one

This has to be the most important question of all, and one that requires very careful consideration. To start at the beginning lets examine the question. The word 'why' is asking a question, we can all agree on that, the question being why do bike lanes exist.

The next word 'why' when used in conjunction with 'do' is asking a question that is looking for a reason for something, in this case a reason for bike lanes to exist. This question is based on two assumptions 1) That there is a reason, and 2) That bike lanes exist.

Regarding the first assumption, that there is a reason, this is central to the question and it is therefore wrong to assume that it is so before we even start to answer the question.

I need to rephrase the question to: Is there a reason for the existence of bike lanes? This question is a reasonable one to make as it does not assume that there is a reason. The second assumption, that bike lanes exist, is necessary in order to make the question meaningful. If it did not exist the question of there being a reason would not arise. The actual existence of bike lanes can not of course be proved one way or the other. We perceive them to be real and I will assume, for the sake of this argument, that it is.

Having clarified the question we will now be able to proceed with the question suitably rephrased.
 

I don't care if roads have them or not. As long as cyclist and vehicle drivers aren't assholes to one another it should work out

I ride my bike through the shopping center and get chased by the guard
