We all want more bike lanes and cycling infrastructure where we live, but not all bike paths are made equal. Some of them can actually be really bad. We asked you to send in the worst cycle ways that you'd seen and these are 13 of the worst from across the world.

To be honest, it's short and there's a more standard kind of trash bike lane after only like a block or two, but I still hate it because I see it as the city padding their total number of bike lanes/miles with crap that can never be used as an actual bike lane.

As a cyclist living in Hong Kong: Already riding probably 15-20 km/h (on weekdays, very late night to avoid holiday riders and commuting crowd), slow down and be 120% cautious and alert at every turn, downhill, uphill, with sufficient lighting, bell (sometimes shout politely to some careless pedestrians and night runners who run in non-reflective / light-colored outfit), avoiding broken bollards, gravel from construction site nearby. When you think you are safe.... (insert: bgm when encounter a Pokémon in bush) A fat kid on the pedestrian road suddenly sprinted out through the bush

I know this is all meant to be in good humour, but I can't help feeling rage at the the utter contempt road planners have for cyclists. I see endless examples of this personally, including cycle lanes/routes that lead directly into a wall or river, ones that pointlessly span only a small section of road, or what is probably the most contemptuous one yet: a years old sign for a cycle lane that was never built, just a few feet away from another sign that says "no cycling".

I know the one in Tokyo on the Tamagawa bike path. The photo is not quite fair as there is another sign (in Japanese of course) telling people not to use it, as there is an alternate path with plenty of headroom running parallel to the path shown here. That being said, some people still head up to it, and it is impossible to guess why they bothered to build it in the first place.

My contender for the worst bike lane is the roundabout next to the French gate at CERN in Geneva. The bike lane from St. Genis feeds into the two lane roundabout that has no markings on the ground and to get to CERN you have to cross the two lane roundabout exit that is the beginning of a highway and the two lane highway end feeding into the roundabout. It's just ridiculous and actually heavily used because hundreds of people working at CERN come to work by bike.

7:05 Oh lord, the main street to my house is like that. Not a bike path, actual road. In that case, the road came first, then the house, but the local road planners in the area are not paid enough for the job I think, because the roads never follow the property vs municipal land lines! The asphalt was probably just poured through the designated path in the 80s, no sidewalks were ever built, nor has there ever been an attempt to paint any sorts of lines on the road. The particular house spilling on the road was built around 2008 if I remember correctly and I think they just stuck to their own property borders as the local government designated, which happened to include a part of the road. Although the walled section is as wide as a car, the asphalt is still wide enough to fit 2 at once and the road is not too busy, so no accidents happened so far... Yes that's a road I frequently have to use to bike around the neighbourhood or drive downtown...

I have been living 100 meters away from the Tama river for more than 10 years, and have gone up and down the whole length of the Tama cycling road dozens of times. I know every bit of it, on both sides of the river, and can assure you that the cycling road DOES NOT pass there. Many low bridges (especially for trains) are along the path, but the cycling road dips down at the foot of the embankment to go under them, there is no need to stay on top of the embankment (where the pic was taken). This is a completely misleading picture, and whoever sent it to you is being dishonest.

My favorite people are the lovely folks that use the bike lane, as a passing lane/right turn lane (I'm in Canada). Then... then have the consideration to honk and yell at you, for being "In their damn way", when you're waiting at the light, and they can't get by. Poor, poor fella. :(

I don’t have a car and don’t plan on getting one, as I’m riding bikes to work. I find this humorous.

The funny thing about the Munich to Venice path is that Venice doesn't allow bikes in the old town. Great path to a bike unfriendly city.

Don't worry.Nothing's worse than in Singapore,where the 'bike paths' are more like pedestrian paths(you'll see more pedestrians there than on their own path),and some of the bike paths deserve to be called mtb trails(its like riding over mound after mound of dirt).

Parts of Blvd Gouin Est in Montréal (Québec) could be contenders. Much of the eastern part has a loooong series of electricity poles (about 70 of them) set up directly in one of the bike lanes or on the line between the two bike lanes. In that portion it was impossible to set up a correctly-sized bike lane, so, they forced it, and we have some of the narrowest pair of bike lanes ever (more like two halves of a already quite narrow single lane...). And then, some other parts (also with a lane facing cars on the nearby lane) frequently have cars and city buses overlapping them, even when the line is NOT already gone almost invisible (which it has recently). Good luck.

I got a good bad bike lane in my city. Runs right next to a divided highway and ends at an intersection just before a same-direction-right-turn-slip-lane with absolutely no on ramp for bikes to get onto the adjoining bike path nor any other side walk to jump onto... So either you gonna get cut off by cars OR you gonna go over one nasty bit of a curb XD
