Protected bike lane on Dearborn in Chicago’s Loop.
no trucks using the bike lane as their loading zone!

Don’t be fooled.  Trucks park in this lane constantly.

I like the idea of bike lanes, but there are times when I need to use them to turn/park/whatever because they aren’t well planned or thought out in implementation. I don’t really like the idea of stop signs, but I always stop at them. I wish I could say the same about most cyclists in DC.
