The snow has been melted for months now.
I take a 40km bike ride from
1) UW
2) up Westmount
3) to Northfield
4) left on Weber out of town
5) hop onto side highway to Heidelberg.
The entire bike lane system has NOT been cleaned.
The gravel and broken glass is prodigious.
Not to mention the hoses, belts, rebar, et al.
We should rename bike lanes GCLs.
Gravel (and glass) Collection Lanes.
It only takes on flat tire to make bike riding a serious pain in the ass.
Waterloo remains an example of how NOT to set up bike lanes.
1) build SOME - though not necessarily many
2) build them WELL
3) MAINtain them.
I'm so frustrated.
Invest in Mr. Tough inner tube urethane liners. Not cheap...
I'll grab pics of the charming stuff in the lane today.
