Cyclists, you know what I’m talking about.
The massive seam in the soutbound half of the bike lane. The one that stretches from Pike all the way down to Washington. Parts of it filled in with road goop that gets slippery in the rain, and parts of it so wide you could fit a thnickel in sideways. It’s also just off to one side, so if you try to ride to the right, you’re getting smacked by the plants in the planters, and if you ride to the left, the people behind you have a harder time passing and you have to jump the crack to avoid anyone veering into the wrong lane.
I usually just skip this lane altogether, but it’s my fastest way home and I’m getting tired of avoiding it. Would a find-it-fix-it report even do anything other than have someone come fill it with that crummy road goop again? The real issue is that the lanes need to be leveled, but that isn’t a fast fix.
What do you do? Left side, right side, avoid altogether? Ride with tires so fat it can’t snatch them? Passive-aggressive FIFI reports every time you ride it? I am so tired of that damn thing.
