I'm not one of these douchetips who likes to try and drop a bomb by making some flagrantly contrarian remark like "Ohhh you know the bike lame is actually the MOST dangerous place you could possibly ride." A crosswalk doesn't protect shit either but I'm glad its there. Painted lines are there simply to increase awareness and give motorists a clue as to where they should or should not be. No different from any other painted lane dividers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-45081855868226688992012-11-30T11:53:43.899-05:002012-11-30T11:53:43.899-05:00Nice that they're making the Cul de sac kids m...Nice that they're making the Cul de sac kids more at home : )Makeoutnoreply@blogger.com
