19 Action News watched cyclist after cyclist ride in what appears to be a designated bike lane on Detroit Avenue, but, it’s not the real deal.

“I was just riding on this street a day or two ago and it wasn’t there and all the sudden I just saw it now,” said Tristan Wheeler.
“It does provide people with a simple white line that they observe in their cars. So it does give me my space,” said Robert Stidham.
