[Tagging] designated bike lane

[john at jfeldredge.com]

It does look like, even if the bicycle itself fit entirely within the bike lane, the left side of the rider's body would be over the line into the driving lane.  I remember once seeing a photograph of a bike lane in Holland that was even worse; the lane narrowed to less than a foot wide, along the very brink of a canal.

In this case I'm not even sure it's physically possible for a bicycle
to fit in the supposed bicycle lane, let alone safe.
