Painted bike lanes offer absolutely no physical protection for cyclists

Just another cheap-ass city council avoiding payment to the Guild of Wizards. If they had paid the guild the magicks they would have cast on the lines would have superseded the need for inelegant concrete walls while protecting car owners from inconvenience. For shame!

I would love to have some magical walls on the bike lane here but the weather is so bad we can't find any newts teeths and they refuse to do the ritual without them!
