And while the bike lane striping angles towards the bulb-out, the car lane+bike lane width doesn't appear to narrow. I took photos and may post on it separately, but it seemed more like an annoyance than bike lane fail. <br /><br />What do others think? Perhaps it's more significant than I supposed?Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-5203654405881949862010-04-27T22:21:21.619-07:002010-04-27T22:21:21.619-07:00Has anyone else noticed that the new curb for the ...Has anyone else noticed that the new curb for the crosswalk across Liberty that links the Waterplace and the library cuts right into the bike lane as you head north on Liberty? Bike racks are swell, sure. But making cyclists cut into traffic to avoid hitting a curb? Not so awesome.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14550212662966655263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-45396147652906742062010-04-24T23:21:49.337-07:002010-04-24T23:21:49.337-07:00Glad you saw this!

The way the details echo is nice. So from an aesthetic angle the look totally works - and since the totality is so much better than usual for Salem, it seemed a quibble that they didn't use staple racks. <br /><br />But you're right, a couple of staple racks would have been even better.Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-10673516120287258952010-04-24T21:01:31.400-07:002010-04-24T21:01:31.400-07:00those bike racks look similar to wavy racks where ...those bike racks look similar to wavy racks where you're lucky to get more than your front wheel looked up with a U-lock. eek!
