Driving back from the golf course…? Hey, wait a minute! Is this the same Matt who was tellin’ me that he’s not a yuppie?

I got your number now, pal!

really? i’ve always felt ok on central. although i will say on both central and evergreen every third car for some reason drives all the way to the left in the bike lane, leaving a strip equal to the bike lane to their right. they will proceed to pull around me and back into the bike lane when they come across me. odd phenomenon.

i submit that central ave, even with bike lane, is also a death trap!

That intersection of Myrtle, DeKalb and Central is already crazy with two 2 lane streets, steel colums for the elevated and all those buses. Throw in a bike lane and is a survival game

I was just on Myrtle yesterday, driving back from the Forest Hills golf course. I almost killed the SAME biker about 5 times. Myrtle bike lane? whadda joke.

It’s already one of the scariest games of ‘live Frogger’ known to man. Buses, giant delivery trucks, double parking. Throw in a bike with or w/out a bike lane and good luck.

whoa. they should change the pictogram to a depiction of a cyclist smooshed flat on the pavement. they should create a bike lane on the elevated track.
