I cannot believe how little room they left. I would be riding that yellow line to ensure that I stayed out of the canal. Is it as narrow as it looks?...
Yes, this picture is a good reminder that we are responsible for our own safety and have to stay vigilant. Sometimes facilities can be poorly designed and we...
