tell me about it.
they put in a bike path/walking path along the side of US10 in town here, and the dumbsh**s put CURBS in at every drive way and street, which equates to every 30-50 feet. This makes the path useless for anything but pedestrians.
No bicycles, strollers, scooters, wheelchairs, power chairs, etc. Nothing that can't hop a curb with zero effort.
I wouldn't even bother on a MTB, since you'd never get to over 5MPH before the next friggin curb.
I'm still pondering writing a very nasty letter to the paper about this issue.
yet they are spending literally millions to put in a G-D skate park in town, for all of the little skate rat drop-outs to have a place to hang out and sniff paint.
