How bout some REAL bike lanes?

I know that Sacramento County has a minimum bike lane width of 5' but
unfortunately that includes sidewalk gutter.

Who seriously is going to bike in the gutter when it means your tires
take some extra abuse. How bout we get the full 5' minimum width of
asphalt for a smoother/easier ride?

At least you don't have to worry about car doors opening in your face.

Where I live they have narrowed many of the bike lanes to add parking,
or turn lanes. What was amusing is that they then were planning to apply
for "Bicycle Friendly City" status from LAB.
