San Francisco is considering adding raised bike lanes like the one that is being tested out on Valencia Street in the Mission District. The raised lanes would provide a built-in buffer from cars, increase visibility for cyclists, take up less space than a regular bike lane, and, most importantly, provide bike riders with confirmation of the very thing they've suspected all along: that they are above all those jerks in their cars. Two inches above, to be exact.
