That's not enough, if the lanes don't connect to anything or they're unsafe or incomplete. People not using something probably means there's something broken about it.

Would you use a highway that didn't go to your destination?

    I feel like you people can't read. I said they ride on the line or sometimes use the sidewalk (when there is a bike lane going in exactly the same direction), not that they don't use the lane at all. The point is they ride on the line between the car line and the bike lane. It's especially problematic when there's only one lane for the car and the cyclist is swerving in and out of the car lane.

    I wouldn't use a highway in general anyway since, as I said, I don't drive.

    Yes, but you still have to ask why people aren't using the bike lane. There's usually a reason. Like the lane only lasts a block or there's cars parked in it. Etc.

    I'm just gonna stop this convo, since it's completely pointless. I like neither car drivers nor cyclists. I have personally almost been run over by cyclists several times blowing through crosswalks or screaming down sidewalks. I find it ridiculous that complaining about cars is fine but complaining about cyclists is a no-go because apparently the wide bike lane with no parked vehicles covering the entire several mile-long one lane road is apparently not enough. They're all shit at following the laws (car drivers and cyclists both).
