MyBikeLane

Maybe it was because we heard the screech of a car braking and then a crash last night—a biker hit by a car.
Maybe it was because the DOT painted this area GREEN so trucks wouldn't park here that we took this photo today. Examine the photo—a biker could get squashed between this truck and the oil tanker when forced out of this well-marked designated bike lane.
Maybe because it's the holiday season, and we saw that poor kid in shock, and we immediately thought how especially awful it would be if he didn't make it. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet.
Maybe we were just pissed off that an ambulance still hadn't appeared 15 minutes after we called 911 last night. A fire truck showed up, but no ambulance.
Or maybe just because Tom Cat could have parked a mere 30 feet up the street (and not in the bike lane) that we decided to take the photo this morning. It reminded us of the lack of respect for bicyclists, and sadly how easy it is to mow them down.
