This indirectly reminded me of the town(pop. 500) I moved from in Nov.'2019. In the last couple of years. They put speed bumps in the town. The speed bump that was placed halfway between two intersections. Was smart thinking. But the TWO speed bumps placed at the SAME INTERSECTION. Was absolute idiocy. On the part of the town government. While I have clip-less pedals. I told them. I was not going to get off my bike to walk it around the speed bumps. Because it would have taken longer to go through the intersection. Especially if the school bus or garbage contractor had been behind me. I would have received funny looks.
