Back to the Story . . . Grant Street
Not sure when this was created (90s my guess), but if you head downtown from Tubbs Lane on Grant Street, just as you pass Mora Avenue you will find this.

| Looks like a Class II Bike Lane! |
Here are typical users of this lane.

| Mom, baby, and a couple of tykes behind |
A Tyke Lane?
 |
| Scootin' after Mom |
Here's why they ride on the wrong side.
 |
| There is no option. A half-Class II? |
At the corner, the signage beckons.
 |
| Right onto North Oak |
The half-Class II bike lane continues.

| Maybe it's really a just a low budget sidewalk. |
For this reason I also like to go bicycling were the cars are not allowed. I go frequently with my three sons and husband to Treasure Island. We do a lot of biking but in the cities I am very afraid to do biking because of all the cars.
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone in this sentiment, Patricia. Lots of surveys show that the majority of Americans (more than 60%) say they would ride if they felt safer. The purpose of this blog is simply to shed some light on barriers to bicycle riding in one little (2.5 square mile) town where it could easily be far safer to ride. Just takes the will and a little creativity. We will get there!
