Cycle Dallas Weighs In on Austin’s Bike Lanes
I guess it is open season on bike lanes. Cycle Dallas blog has a post with pictures and commentry.
“Austin Texas is a “Silver” rated Bicycle Friendly town by the League of American Bicyclists.
This is one of Austin’s 3′ wide bike lanes along a 40 mph thoroughfare (gutter pan does not count according to the AASHTO Guide, and shouldn’t, because the seam between the road pavement and the gutter-pan is dangeous to bicyclists). There were no advance warning signs that the bike lane ends, just cones. Of course, there were no cyclists, either, and who could blame them for avoiding this facility like the plague?”
