They should be straight-on...
* - yep, I know, you should be holding onto the handlebars firmly at times like this and give a quick, forceful counter-steer to mitigate the impact. And I’m guessing 10% of cyclists know how to do this, so that’s piss-poor to design like that
They shouldn't even be there, it's not like bicycles are the problem on that road. I never ride over them, I just merge into the regular lane, AFAIK there's no law saying I have to use the bike lane.
Hot mess is a good way to describe it... I would love to ask the designer of this shit WTF they were thinking.
Please do ask them. City staff and councilors need to know this design is bad. I know that some staff members are not happy about it, let they know they're not the only ones.
