I prefer riding on the street with the cars. I feel more visible that way. When I’m on a separate bicycle path separated from the street by parked cars, there’s a risk they won’t see me when turning right. Also, when cycling on the street it’s easier to switch to the lane for turning left with the cars, which is usually much quicker than waiting at two traffic lights consecutively for turning left. Of course, this depends on the density of car traffic and local laws. I’m talking Berlin, Germany.
