Video: Cyclist uses car horn to clear Brooklyn Bridge bike lane
Brooklyn Bridge in New York is, apparently, a bit of a pain for cyclists. There’s a bike lane, but because the pedestrian path is right next to it separated by only a white line, everyone just sort of mills about oblivious to the division.
This rider clearly concluded that a bell wasn’t sufficient and instead employed a car horn.
Bicycling.com reports that the horn was produced by a Ronseal-channelling Boston firm called Loud Bicycle.
They currently do two horns: the Loud Classic and the Loud Mini. They’re also working on the $349 Droid Horn with Traffic Droid.
If horns aren’t your thing, you could always sing “Bike lane! Don’t stand in the bike lane!” to the tune of the Star Wars theme, as Noam Osband did on New Year’s Day.
Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

Gerrraaata my way type thing. There's not really enough space for all the people on foot in the pedestrian lane.
Its a clear example of why paint != bike lanes.
So?
If the bike lane was a road with cars and buses and vans and trucks on it, would the pedestrians spill out into that?
I don't see that happening on Oxford St, so the issue is how the infrastructure is designed not with the person just trying to use the poor infrastructure that's designed for his mode of transport.
I don't know Brooklyn Bridge but I wouldn't be surprised if bicycles aren't allowed on the road there, or if it's super dangerous. So what else is one to do?
