@DrTCombs Is this a sidewalk you're even supposed to be on with a bike? The ones I love are the "you can just ride your bike on the sidewalk" "oh, bikes aren't allowed on the sidewalk" combos.
@enobacon @wordshaper this sidewalk isn't marked as a bike facility, but its twin on the opposite side of the road is a signed ped/bike combo, but only if you are going in that direction. If you wanna go the direction I'm going, you can either ride in the sidewalk (which sucks) or mix it up with the cars that are routinely clocked going 60+ (despite the posted speed of 35mph).
I had my kid with me today, so we opted for the itch from poison ivy rather than probable death from cars.
@wordshaper
I normally ride the wrong way on the opposite sidewalk (signs be damned) because we normally take a left at the bottom of the hill, and I'd rather take our chances with driveways and try and cross 5 lanes of speeding traffic.
But today we needed to go right, so we had to take the poison ivy side.
@enobacon @wordshaper our laws don't yet know what to do with ebikes, thankfully.
