bicycle lanes are usually death gutters. they’re better than nothing but it can be safer to not use them depending on where you are
there should be separated bicycle paths/lanes separated by barriers that motor vehicles can’t… y’know… easily go into or open their door in front of
also I have legitimately never seen people on bicycles disrespecting road laws unless those road laws enforce something that is unsafe. like disallowing rolling stops. car drivers violate road laws all the time though, not including speeding but i’m pretty sure almost every driver sees speeding as normal too

Come to Philly where you can see guys on fixies blowing through red lights without even looking left and right first. Or go anywhere and see people (of all ages, surprisingly) riding against traffic on the wrong side of the road - something that is the perfect blend of illegal and stupid, although not quite as illegal and stupid as the first thing I mentioned here.
