Does riding in a bike lane count as bicycle driving?
Sometimes. Riding in a bike lane can be considered bicycle driving if the bike lane is properly designed and includes the appropriate position for the bicyclist as determined by all other conditions. Even a well-designed bike lane might not include the appropriate position for a given bicyclist at a given time. It is also unfortunate that the majority of bike lanes are not properly designed and can guide bicyclists along a poor path. It is especially unfortunate when the law requires bicyclists to use bike lanes regardless their quality or appropriateness to conditions.
