@moira I wouldn't ride a bike on Avondale unless I was feeling suicidal.

@bls Yeah, it looks scary as fuck. That's why I'm just refusing to mark it as double-bike-lane even though Redmond absolutely does.

I'm sticking with "double sharerow" marking for now, because paint stripe or not, you're sharing the row. :/

@moira I just took a look at Google Street View and they just look like narrow, hard shoulders. :/

@tk Well, yeah, that's what I was saying. That's why I want people with experience riding them to tell me if they're secretly okay.

Within the 2 Line map area, they mark them as "dual bike lanes." While technically correct, I have issues with that.

@moira While I have ridden them, it was around a decade ago…when they were basically the same as they are now. :P

@tk So you would not describe them as secretly okay when you rode them?

tk, 24 days ago

@moira I was fine enough with them, but I was a real road warrior at the time.

For comparison, I definitely wouldn't ride them with a family if I could avoid it.

@tk Good data, thank you.

The idea of this map is really for people who don't know much yet, so I think I'll leave them as scary sharerow dashes.

@tk If it wasn't four-lanes-plus then it'd be different, I think. BUT IT IS so
