Here is a cycle lane here.. you can see how narrow it is and how close general traffic encroaches to it. Buses in particular are quite large so frequently run up against the lane.

I definitely would not feel safe riding there......seems like you can get hit at anytime.

It's illegal in some areas here. Not allowed in the center of town. State law is "outside of business districts" but local cities can ban it if they want.

Yea, it looks tight but tolerable. Until a bus pulls up in front of you. Last time I rode in a big city was in San Francisco. Streets are wide:

weirdly on the left

=====================

This street in Brooklyn has a pleasant bike lane:

only nuisance is double parked cars, or cars trying to park. Car speeds are really slow so it's easy to deal with traffic

It was pretty much strong thunderstorm, followed by moderate/heavy rain, followed by another strong thunderstorms, rinse and repeat all afternoon yesterday. Everything was deluged and it was still flooded even today afternoon! Drainage here sucks ass though, so even an inch of rain would leave things somewhat flooded....so imagine 4.5+ inches!

Yeah Florida is quite flood-prone. Good soil for taking water but that doesn't help on the streets.

Us being ridiculously low in elevation doesn't help, and the certain position of my section of the neighborhood is somewhat lower lying than surrounding areas....
