[SDCBC] Pet peeve: cyclists have "no choice" but to be unsafe/crazy

[John Eldon]

I, too, have had generally good responses when dealing with Carlsbad on bicycle issues.

SDCBC members will probably also be interested to know that the public workshops on Coast Highway 101 through Leucadia have been going very well, with strong support for reducing the speed limt to 25 to 30mph. There are plans for lane narrowing and other traffic calming techniques to prevent the 85th percentile rule from preventing enforcement of a safe and sane speed limit.

Have you contacted the city's streets dept. about maybe having some signs 
posted in those two locations? I recently had good luck with the city of 
Carlsbad having them re-locate a bike lane to a safer location and set up 
a signal so it detects bicycles to give them a left signal. I also sent a 
small digital photo to the city of a large temporary "LANE CLOSED" sign 
set directly in the bike lane, forcing cyclists into traffic and requested 
that it be moved off the street, and they did so. I might be lucky, maybe 
Carlsbad is easy to deal with and SD not.
