Fuck, I would have personally benefited from these bike lanes! Whenever I'm in Astoria and want to bike on 31st Street, I always have to do this slalom between the columns. When lanesplitting in the driving lane there, there is not enough space for cars to pass safely, and New York drivers WILL NOT suffer the indignity of driving behind a bicyclist. So I have to slalom into the parking lane whenever a rush of cars approaches from behind, then slalom back when they have passed to stay out of the door zone, because there is not enough space in the parking lane to pass safely either, again because of the columns and also double parkers. It's challenging but tiring. Ironically the reason I want to be on 31st Street is because that's where all the businesses are! For now it's just too annoying though so I usually just go eat elsewhere.
