Careful opening that driver’s door.
On my recent trip to downtown Syracuse, I had to navigate different traffic patterns.
City planners had added a bike lane since my last time to the area.
My thought?
Clinton Square’s blocks already were tricky enough to navigate for vehicle drivers and walkers alike. Now there are less lanes for the car and truck drivers and potentially more and varied wheeled passersby for the walkers to navigate.
In my time walking to and from my car, I did not note one bike rider.

What happens when they are covered with snow? Just asking for a friend in the South,

I think there are less bicycle riders to consider on the big snow days but then again, I now try to keep my car in the driveway on those days, too, David!

Wise Choice!

I agree with Bruce… no one is ever in them most likely because they do not trust the drivers. I hear ER’s call them suicide lanes. Just sayin’.

Yeah, trouble could await, Nance.

it’s tricky business sharing the road. Ann Arbor has started a huge initiative trying to get people to bike more instead of using cars downtown. it’s taken some getting used to and over time I’ve seen more and more bikers using the lanes. it’s challenging but can be done, both parties have to kind of grow into it and not an easy transition. (if you build it, they will come?)

We have bike lanes out our way, but no one uses them. I assume that is because no one trusts our drivers to stay in their lanes!

Making things accessible for all can sometimes make for tight squeezes and possible collisions. I get it. BUT…
In my new neighborhood, to slow down speeder, they have put a tiny twisted cross cross (hard to explain, I’ll have to take a picture) that literally causes card to almost hit head on. I “see” what they’re trying to accomplish; yet, it may have caused more issues as neighbors are complaining about that now! Oh boy!
Have a blessed day my friend!!

It does! I think of it like my treatments,…a few halts to show some great routes, I pray! I’m hanging in there. Today I had coffee with my crazy fun aunt and cousins. Lots of coffee and giggles are perfect! The sun is shining, it’s a bit cold,…two cardinals flew by my window. I’ll put this day in the winner’s bracket! I hope yours is a winner!
