Over the past few months we've received numerous questions from folks about protected vs paint-only bike infrastructure.
After considerable and careful research on the subject, consider this our protected infrastructure manifesto!

I love that they also angled the curb there to imply you could ride up the sidewalk but didn’t commit to a full curb cut
Looks like is supposed to be the last of the Pulte row home for most of the block.
Which of these bike lanes would you actually WANT to ride on?
Pictured: Summit Ave (on street bike lane) and Como Ave (off street protected bike lane). Taken same day.
Trick question bike one ships class 2 but can unlock to class 3 with their app
Honestly the city needs to tear this back up, put in real grade separated bike path, a real raised mid block crossing and add delivery pull off spots. Maybe while they are at it they could add something of interest other than a sea of grey concrete.
I am very happy with the city in how fast they cleared all the bike paths this week. Makes it even more clear why separate infrastructure is the only true option. Any street with just some paint has already lost its bike lane
Learning the hard way on a bike that car tracks in brown snow are not actually as compacted as you would think they would be
Great bike, if you’re gonna be doing trails I would recommend replacing the pedals with something that has actual metal spikes. Did it to mine and it really helps
