Bicycle lanes

We don't have enough cycling lanes in Vancouver, and the ones we have are mostly just painted with a bicycle, as if that will deter cars from driving on them.

I just bought a new bike, and I'm excited to explore this city on bicycle. Very different than transit, driving or walking. When I went to Montreal I borrowed a friend's bike and we rode around the city, stopping at cafes, markets, bagel shops, depanneurs, etc... It was a wonderful way to get to know a city.
