I like both #LEGO bricks and #cycling, but this is just ridiculous. Having wide enough safe bike lanes in real life is a must for a variety of reasons. Just having bike lanes in official LEGO sets is great and enough.

But having wide enough bike lanes for plastic figure who can’t bend their knees is utterly futile. LEGO isn’t about realistic proportions anyway, so if it ever makes it to an official product, it will look off just compared to roads for example.

I wouldn’t have minded the initiative if the LEGO Ideas project page was linking to a real cycling safety initiative. After all the creator is a city councilperson. But it currently doesn’t, so it looks like it’s about making LEGO bike lanes wider for the sake of it, and I’m having none of it.
