I’m missing something with that sign on Hagey at Columbia. That’s looking north on Hagey, right? Is it saying that you have to dismount and continue on foot? Why couldn’t you just ride through with other traffic on Hagey- not in the crosswalk?
I notice cyclists on sidewalks most often when I am cycling, and I find it annoying at best. Behaving predictably is the best way to keep everyone safe, and obeying the rules is the best way to be predictable. A lot of riders around the university zones seem to think nothing of riding on the sidewalk, even on relatively quiet streets with bike lanes (I’m thinking of Parkside where I see this a lot). I can see there being maybe some riders riding from the Laurel Trail to Hagey along Columbia. But I still don’t understand the sign instructing riders to dismount.
