Salty AF. Safe streets & sound climate policy = social justice. Enjoy biking, travel, beer and cats. Content likely to randomly touch on all of the above. All content is my personal opinion. She/Her.
This stretch of Milwaukee bike lane is so clear that it makes me think it was all fully plowed between Western and North Ave, but snow from sidewalks was pushed into some spots.

Whoever clears the snow at 1624 N. Milwaukee shoved it all from the sidewalk into the bike lane.

SB Milwaukee bike lane south of Western looks like it was partially cleared. But whoever clears the snow at 1800 N. Milwaukee needs to be told not to push snow into the bike lane.

These folks in the corner house cleared the sidewalk on the residential side streets, but not along Foster. This is why we need to #PlowTheSidewalks

Enjoyed seeing bike infrastructure and human-scale transport in Strasbourg, as well as a nice bike amenity in Zurich.

Imagine wedging your truck into this bike lane like this and thinking that is where you are supposed to be.

This rideshare driver pulled into the Mukwaukee Acenue bike lane right in front of me. When I yelled at him, this is how far he pulled over. 🙄 This is 2506 N. Milwaukee, right by the DRIVEWAY that leads to a PARKING LOT. And, the passenger came from across the street - where there is legal parking.

Well, well, well. If only the car had been wearing hi viz!
More seriously - I live .5 mile from here & walk, bike & drive by here often. This is terrifying & unacceptable, but of course nothing will be done to make the road safer.

6:40am commute via Milwaukee Avenue: saw 11 other people biking, first one less than .5 miles from home. Little slick out.
Also, we need to do something about buildings shoveling their snow into the bike lane. Constant issue from Concordia day care to the 606.

OMG the motor normative, victim blaming comments on this FB post make me want to scream. I can be lit up like a Christmas tree while biking at night and drivers will STILL fail to see me, because they are not. paying. attention.
