A bike ride last week brought me to what has to be the busiest bus stop of the Albany Transit System. And as you can see, buses stopping there take up pretty much the entire bike lane on that side of the street.
On a bike ride Friday, I took another look at Goldfish Farm Road, where a contractor for Linn County this week started replacing the bridge over Cox Creek.
It’s the end of November, so it must be time to get exercised about piles of dead leaves on Albany streets. Not that complaining does any good.
“As a fellow cyclist,” Albany resident Travis Remington asked me, “how do feel about the upkeep of the main bike lanes through Albany?”
Flat tires caused by punctures are a fact of life when riding a bicycle. But the physics of just how this happens is not necessarily clear.
A few days ago I took the bike to 53rd Avenue in south Albany. The trip on South Pacific Boulevard and back illustrated a glaring gap in Albany’s bike infrastructure.
Bike lanes in the fall, as leaves pile up
This is the time of year when Albany bicycle riders must sometimes use the driving lanes because the designated bike lanes are blocked by piles of autumn leaves.
