Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Since it seems to be legally a bike lane... Why don't you guys put together a tank MTB with a shield in the front, just mash through the lane and destroy everything in your path.

Might just be me... that's the only solution that I see...

Don't quit the day job.
I am unemployed at the time - nothing to quit.
And as far as that lane being shot to hell, I have seen many like it before. It is nothing new.

Plan routes accordingly.

AND...since you have the footage, find a bike advocacy group that can actually get something done about it and submit it to them (if this has not been done already).

I think [165] is implying that you should take action, and that you should follow my plan.

Hahaha!

That footage looks like one of those car commercials that advertise "All Wheel Drive...for whatever life may throw your way."

That's some great unplanned, uncut footage.
