General Road and Highway Discussion

Those shallow ramps are something else, too. If you don’t get guided off into traffic when you hit them, you get to enjoy wiping out when they force your wheel to the left violently*.

They should be straight-on...

* - yep, I know, you should be holding onto the handlebars firmly at times like this and give a quick, forceful counter-steer to mitigate the impact. And I’m guessing 10% of cyclists know how to do this, so that’s piss-poor to design like that

They shouldn't even be there, it's not like bicycles are the problem on that road. I never ride over them, I just merge into the regular lane, AFAIK there's no law saying I have to use the bike lane.

Hot mess is a good way to describe it... I would love to ask the designer of this shit WTF they were thinking.
