Why I Refuse to Use Bike Lanes 🚴❌

☼ Ever wondered why cyclists avoid designated bike lanes? From steep curbs and unpaved sections to coarse gravel and pedestrians occupying the cycling space, designated bike lanes can sometimes create additional hazards and discomfort for cyclists. In this ride through Addis Ababa, I experience these conditions firsthand—including navigating around pedestrians who refuse to leave the bike lane even after being alerted by my bicycle horn. This is a look at what urban cycling is actually like from the cyclist's perspective.
