Duval just got re-striped

The bike lane stripes are so thick and wide! Must be seen to be believed.

And is that a 4x4 parked in the bike lane, with the cyclist having to go around it?

Just another reason sharrows are better than bike lanes.  People don't get to park in the street just because it has a sharrow :)

I think the new striping requires 4-wheeled vehicles to drive on the edge of the street while bicyclists enjoy the larger lanes in the center.

PS- actually, a friend was picking me up in his truck and I snapped this photo before getting into his truck.
