Let's hope this help showing how the lack of bike lanes kill people. Cyclists have the right to move as much as people driving and deserve the same quality of service and investing as private vehicles (cars), and public transit.
And trains too.
- This wasn't an accidental hit an run. They aimed the car at the cyclist. A bicycle lane wouldn't have been a factor in this case.
  
  Depends on how protected it is, I've seen variants here with fences
  
  Of course it would help, a physical separation between the two would made it harder to the driver to hit the cyclists. A bike lane that is just a line of paint on the road wouldn't, but paint is not infrastructure.
  
  In the Netherlands (we know about bike lanes!).A bike lane is often not seperated from cars with any physical barriers in urban area's. When someone intentionally wants to hit you with their car there is little to stop them.
  
  I'm guessing you also don't need them.
- Except cargo isn't transited on bicycles and cargo pays the bills honey
  
  Four out of five Americans in the private sector are employed in the service sector. So the cargo that pays the most bills is the one with four limbs, two of which can be used to operate the pedals on a bicycle.
