With one exception, road surfaces, bike lanes, and sidewalks were clear and in excellent shape. The exception was the bike land on the Western side of Grand Blvd, which continues to have heavy rutting with compacted snow and ice.
Cyclists are using studded tires and riding in compliance with all traffic laws. If you do choose to ride, please respect your limits and wear a helmet regardless of the conditions.
SAFETY NOTICE: Video footage is recorded by an experienced adult cyclist wearing a helmet and complying with applicable traffic laws. Some situations involve higher risk due to compromises and/or deficiencies in road design and motorist conduct. Always comply with all road safety laws and wear a helmet when cycling. If a situation is outside your comfort zone, consider briefly dismounting and walking on the sidewalk until conditions improve. Talk to your local elected officials about any safety concerns and what they can do to improve conditions for cyclists.
