Hi Brian, if cyclists ride two or more abreast and it's not a substandard width lane if riding single file (e.g. a motorist and a bicyclist can safely share...
I agree that there are SEVERAL situations that safe riding may appear to be inconsiderate to the average motorist, and we should always consider the safety of...
I have an opportunity today to influence a Caltrans decision about the use of roundabouts. I have heard differing stories about whether roundabouts are hard...
I like roundabouts because they minimize unnecessary wait times for both bicyclists and motorists. Less idling motors means better air for us! Just need some...
I also agree that roundabouts are a great way to reduce wait, and increase throughput. However, I think that the problem with roundabouts is that most people...
Hi Folks, I rode the new Harding to Royer trail segment this morning. It runs between Folsom St. and the Harding to East St. segment of the Miner's Ravine...
Hi folks - A kindly reminder that the trail is not officially open yet because we have to install signs, striping, fencing and a safety railing. I'll post an...
BikingRosevillains, I received the two articles below recently via the SABA list. The first seeks to dispel the myth of cyclists being unrepentant law...
I've had the opportunity over the past several months to spend some time on Roseville's Class I bike paths and it's been great to see so many people out there...
Rob - I will respond to your email within the next day or two. Thanks, Mike Michael Dour Alternative Transportation Analyst - Bikeways Public Works -...
Hi Rob - Thanks for the email. I understand your concerns with more trail users since over the past year I've been receiving more comments about the potential...
Hi Rob - One other item. For the latest segment, we actually paved 11' wide. This was a decision of the contractor to improve their operational efficiency......
Hi Mike, To comment on the trail etiquette issue, I ride the trail in the summer, but use the road more in the winter due to slickness and lighting issues. If...
Hi Mike, regarding the mileage marking, is there a plan to include the last marker before Folsom Rd? Looks like there is a 1M marker right before the Harding...
Hi Mike, Can you describe these user conflicts? I'd like to hope that cyclists are showing the utmost consideration for other trail users out on Roseville...
Greg - Good idea. Thanks much. Mike ________________________________ From: bikingroseville@yahoogroups.com [mailto:bikingroseville@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Hi Folks, The October Transportation Commission agenda includes an update on the Woodcreek Trail. I would like to go, but I have a conflicting appointment. Do...
Hi David - I've heard from about 8 or 10 people over the past year, with differing perspectives on trail etiquette. Some of the viewpionts: * Bicyclists going...
I have seen all of these except for the first one. The earbud issue is big, for I have approached people with my bell ringing, and still scared the crud out...
If we have a sign with a list of rules, I'd like the last one to say "And please, no yelling, especially at children." I know adrenaline takes over, but nobody...
I like to see that the path is being used, and that moms with strollers and small kids on bikes can also feel comfortable using the path. I know that the path...
I had read the Washcycle piece some time ago, but just read the 2nd one now. Well, skimmed to be honest. And I'm not sure I buy it. Maybe I'm just an...
I really enjoyed Mighk's blog entry. I also agree with some things mentioned in the first article, but find it less important to focus on that. As a cyclist it...
Good news: Car talk's puzzler involves bicycling. Check it out - http://www.cartalk.com/content/puzzler/ <http://www.cartalk.com/content/puzzler/> or listen...
Actually, I kind of like this, since it will hopefully educate a large number of drivers as to the reason some cyclists go through red lights. Assuming I've...
Last weekend I was able to participate in a fun learning experience. I took a League of American Bicyclists Bike class from David and Chris, of Biking...
The traffic helps Dougie because his bicycle has a hard time changing the traffic lights. He must wait for another vehicle to change the light, so when there...
Yes, that was my thought was mine. Although I also put in a note that Dougie can legally run the light after stopping and making sure it's safe. I didn't...
Shutting down specific streets to car traffic so bikes and others can take over for a day. I'm not sure what to make of this. Has anyone gone to Sunday ...
I volunteered at one of the SF Sunday Streets events this summer. It was incredible. Huge swaths of The Mission wall-to-wall with cyclists, folks walking,...
