<br>
My feeble brain is wandering around in it's vast cavern as it considers the temporary closure of the Genesee Bike Lanes west of Campus Point Drive to I-5 or so...<br>
<br>
- There are plenty of signs that point out that the bike lane is closed and that there is an alternative route. <br>
<br>
- I am thinking that the signs should suggest SHARING THE ROAD WITH BICYCLES so that other vehicle operators will realize that closing the Bike Lane means that now Bicycles will be using the regular traffic lanes. The signs for the alternative route imply that the closed bicycle lanes means there will be no bicycles which of course is not the case.<br>
<br>
- I normally find it ironic/pardoxical that the BIKE LANE CLOSED AHEAD signs are take up the entire Bike Lane so that the Bike Lane is effectively closed at the sign itself as well.<br>
<br>
I guess I am asking to much and should be happy with the alternative route which is nicely marked with signs that are of course blocking the Bike Lane...<br>
<br>
Just wondering what everybody else thinks about this sort of thing...<br>
<br>
