It’s really funny to me that bikers won’t use “bike lanes” because of “pot holes”, “cracks in the pavement” or “puddles”, yet you will risk your life in a traffic lane where a motorist could possibly not see you, not have enough room to make it around you or have to slam on their brakes to accommodate you being there. The pros and cons don’t add up. Seems more dangerous to ride in the traffic lane (even if it is ridiculously legal). You’re that concerned about your safety, get in the bike lane or on the sidewalk (less risk there)!
