Bicycles are the best option for the environment and getting around big cities.

Many city governments have begun to offer bike service for citizens in large cities. But, if you ride bikes in the city, then you need to be careful. There are few bike lanes for riders and you need to watch out for pedestrians and cars. So where do you ride?

More and more we see bike lanes in our cities. These lanes are only for cyclists but many times they are badly constructed or don't cover enough ground. 

In Flickr, a group decided to post picture of the worst bike lanes in the world. It is amazing that such useless and dangerous bike lanes have been created. There are some bike lanes only 15 feet long, others that run into parked cars and some that are badly marked. There are also bike racks where it says 'Prohibited to park bikes'.

With all of these pictures we can't help but wonder if it is a good idea to ride bikes. One thing is for sure, it will be a long time until we reach the level of Holland, where bikes are the kings of the road and cars come second!
