Hope more cities do this. Separating bike lanes makes a ton of sense. Bike commuting was stressful sometimes knowing the only thing between me and 4,000lbs of metal was a painted line.
Also would notice a good number of tailpipes faced towards the bike lane, which sort of negates the health benefit of biking to work.
I just saw this sideways tailpipe nonsense on a truck for the first time yesterday and couldn't figure out why they would modify it like that. Is this really a thing just to roll coal on bikers??
A lot of old trucks had exhausts that come out the side. A lot of people (mostly older in my experience) prefer the look, but it wouldn't shock me of some people put those pipes on their trucks specifically to fuck with bicyclists.
