Bike Lanes

Bike lanes are a curious human invention. They are made for people who cycle, like roads are made for people who drive and sidewalks are evidently made for people who don’t have a car, a bike, a motorbike or a bus ticket, for people who walk.

Ok, until here it’s all right. However, I have a doubt, a big doubt, so big that I don’t know how I can sleep.

Why everybody (because there aren’t any exceptions) why all the people of the world walk on the bike lane? Why? I cycle in Barcelona and when there’s a bike lane on the left or on the right part of sidewalk, there is someone occupying it. It doesn’t matter if the sidewalk is empty, he walks on the bike lane.

Why don’t they make lanes for people who walk? It seems that they want to be guided around. It’s more complicated than it seems, have you ever thought why people walk on a lane? and Why they do it unconsciously?

I’m sure I would be able to explain this, establishing a relationship between the bike lane and life, etc., but I don't want to bore you. You only think:
Do you want to have a guided life?


Cross the lines.
