        Me too. There’s usually an unbroken line of jammed-up cars from my home all the way to my workplace, and I get to ride past it on a separated bike lane.
        Every day I walk into the office with a smile on my face.

      I am visiting Boston. I am looking forward to using their transit, but their biking has not left a good impression so far. In one spot, they had a bike lane symbol, but it was just on a busy street between parking and traffic with no actual lane. In another spot, there was an actual lane, but people were parking on it. And just in general, there aren’t a lot of obvious places to bike around. People are making it work, but it just looks dangerous.

        There’s room for a lot of improvement, and drivers hungry for parking are already fighting back against the changes we have.

        Something that makes the experience much nicer is if I manage to plan out a destination that will take me along one of the community paths that are walking/bike specific. But yes, ideally you shouldn’t need to do such a thing.
