Count me as a victim of one of those tracks.

This morning, March 23rd, I was riding westbound on the bike path near the East Lake MARTA station. I have using this exact same route since the construction was finished last year. I slowed down and stood on my pedals to help distribute my weight better. As soon as I crossed the first track, I felt the bike slip out from underneath me and down on my right side. Fortunately, I was far enough off the road so I was not near any cars. I got up and check out my bike and myself. We both just got a few scratchs and scraps. (but dang, it's my new bike!)

I'll try to take some pictures to post here of the crossing this afternoon on the way home. I wonder who has responsibility of the crossing: the railroad, the county, the city, or the Path foundation? I'll try to find out.

And maybe we should do the media thing too. With all the warm weather we have been having lately (along with the price of gas), I've seen a lot more cyclists in the last week or two. Might make a good story.
