Washington Blvd bicycle prohibition on City Council agenda   Message List

Re: [bikingroseville] Re: Washington Blvd bicycle prohibition on City Council agenda

Washington Blvd underpass is not for the inexperienced nor timid cyclist. I certainly wouldn't go in there without highly visible rear lighting and contrasting colored clothing at ANY time of day. You'll need to take a position of clear control in the RH lane. Don't be surprised if you get honked at. It will be a long time before motorists get used to the idea that you're allowed to be in there.
 
Oh, and sprinting would help, too.  ;-)

Hi everyone,

I'm glad to see that cyclists are now allowed to ride through the
underpass; but now I don't know if I want to!

I think I will continue to ride around and cross the tracks at
Yosemite St.

What does everyone else think?

Actually, be surprised if you get honked at. I have been using the underpass a few times (it wasn't a frequent route for me, so hard to judge - maybe 25 to 30...
