dave, 4 months ago to cycling Only in America can you experience the thrill of a bike lane ending with you on a highway on-ramp 🤡 #urbanism #biketooter #dangerousbydesign Video of me riding a bike lane, then a "bike lane ends" sign, then I am at a stop sign with cross traffic speeding up to on-ramp, and a tunnel under the highway
