I'd go ahead and file in small claims court. Filing fees are not typically very high. Odds are reasonable the insurance company will then pay you for the bicycle; I am skeptical that you will...

Gene,

This sounds like one of the Delaware state bicycle routes, Naamans Road (DE Route 92) from Meeting house road west to Darby Road in Wilmington DE. It is listed as a bicycle friendly road...

For NLerner's Super Course in Post #8, did this SRF 5 hub come with a bar end shifter, or do you just have to shift carefully without the normal SA shifters?

This is generally my impression of the bike lanes in Philadelphia.

Especially outside Center City, most of the bicyclists I see in the bike lanes don't seem to think they are allowed to leave the...

It looks to me like Spare_Wheel is saying that 814.430 permits lane use based on speed while Bek is pointing out that 814.420 does not.

Of course, 814.420 does not require bike lane use unless...

I bought the Performance bag on eBay a number of years ago. Most of the time I left the suits in the office, but needed to carry them occasionally.

The garment bag worked fine; it held suit,...

Personally, I put Brooks saddles on almost all my bikes.
I have a B-15 that took some breaking in, but most of the other saddles (B-66/67, B-33, even B-17) never really required much breaking in. ...

How/why was this thread resurrected?

Yes, I had he original Vista headlight stolen about 20 years ago in what I had thought was a decent area. The light wasn't expensive, but I think some kids figured anything they could remove was...

It looks to me like a fair amount of the divisions may result from different environments. Road designers take motorists seriously, so planning and enforcement seem to be fairly consistent in...

The Broadway cycle track. This facility replaced a bike lane and is a separated path flanked by a sidewalk and parked cars on the left. Unfortunately there has been little attempt to mitigate...

Yes, but the point is that they work in Holland and Denmark because motorists are penalized for hitting bicyclists and pedestrians.

In the US, designers planning roads and bike lanes have told me...

Overall tsl's response is the best; to emphasize a few additional comments:

Since this is work, you need to maintain the illusion of cooperation just as they are presenting the illusion of a...

FWIW, I drove a 1949 Plymouth in 1995/96, and the car had a 3rd brake light in the middle of the trunk - they were definitely around much earlier than the 90's. Maybe they didn't catch on right away...

I suspect that if the safety isn't showing up with the numbers but comes later, it may be due to other factors that are confounded with the numbers. Most of the places I've heard about with "safety...

Normally, I'd agree with Gene that if it is a toll bridge, bicyclists can pay the toll. (In PA/DE the DRPA generally thinks it is more efficient to ban bicycles from all bridges than try to figure...

Having lived and bicycled in Cambridge (before bike lanes; some recent visits), I'm not at all impressed by the Cambridge MA study.
Some bicyclists may move over 3-4", but they are still in the...

As others have noted, the question is not purely speed, but depends more sight lines, law enforcement, and driver behavior (typically depends on laws actually enforced).

Locally (DE/PA border)...

I think Metal Man is closest to the truth - normally it is technically not legal to use a lane that is blocked off, so no one will care if it is really clear, but since motorists generally don't...

It may be standard AASHTO Guidance, but it's still in the door zone, in area they say they are trying to revitalize and planning for increased parking turnover.


AASHTO has generally been treated...

I can't say for Florida, but it looks to me like Iowa actually has far more sharrows (dozens) than Delaware (2 in a single block).

Looking on the Internet, sharrows are reported actually installed...

I saw some mid town bike lanes a when I was in NYC on business about 2 year ago, maybe around 50th St and 7th-9th Ave. Given the mandatory bike lane laws, I found restricting bikes to the left lane...

Let me know if you have any luck at all.

I find the planners locally are not only motorists that are afraid to ride, they reject comments from "bicycle people" that are not the target timid...

If there are shoulders on the road before and after the ramp, you may be able to wait for a gap. In this case, you can decide on (i) how comfortable you are in the lane, and (ii) whether motorists...

While this is typical and not surprising, it is still disappointing.

* While it may not be clear to drivers in the US, the parents driving their kids to school are a problem. A number of years...
