Bike lanes are the absolute bare minimum and suck to ride in, everyday people aren't going to ride in a bike lane. If you're saying we shouldn't install bike lanes in favor of better bicycle infrastructure like separated bike paths I'm all for that obviously, but we also shouldn't let perfection get in the way of progress. Connecting the network of bike lanes is progress, as the only thing that sucks more than riding in a bike lane is when the bike lane ends without warning, dumping you into traffic.
