Quiz: Would you use this bike facility?
by Richard MasonerHere’s a quiz for you. After looking at the photo posted below, how do you recommend getting through this marked bike facility?
- “Take the lane.”
- Call public works and complain about the poor condition of the bike lane.
- Take public transportation.
- “There’s no bad weather, just bad clothing.” I’d don my rain cape and rain pants and cycle through it.

I don’t see it as a huge deal, I’ll just ride in a more upright position.
