The Width of a Bike Lane

I think I have made a discovery: the width of the bike lanes was determined by measuring the width of a garbage truck.

This picture was taken this past Sunday, on the corner of First Avenue and St. Mark's Place:

Coming through!

I expected an enthusiastic biker to pass the truck and scream something about bikes lanes being for bikers, but it didn't happen.

Bikers are very territorial… in the East Village!
