Kyoto Bicycle Lane Horikawa

Horikawa Dori Kyoto自転車専用レーン京都堀川

Kyoto is slowly, ever so slowly, improving its infrastructure for cycling.

The bike lane on the sidewalk of Gojo Dori - for the most part it completely separates pedestrians and cyclists on a very wide sidewalk - is a move in the right direction.

It contrasts with the older, completely useless, bike lanes.

One such example is on Horikawa Dori.

The bike "lane" is different colored paving - that's it.

Pedestrians and cyclists weave in and out of the gray area designated for people walking, the reddish area for bikes.

Moreover, the bike lane runs right through bus stops where, surprise, people congregate and wait for buses.
