Ride Lower State Street

You’re on your bike heading to the beach. You’ve passed the railroad tracks – bump, bump, bump – now, what’s this?

The road narrows quickly, but most cars aren’t slowing down. Yikes, here’s a truck!

Is this safe for bicycles?

Here's what's causing the problem – a new median is squeezing the travel lane, increasing proximity and decreasing safety. Two lanes narrow to one, but motorists speeds slow too gradually.
It's a tough road to Vision Zero.
Too risky for out of towners?
Too close for comfort? All of a sudden their casual bike ride just got real. Motorists are quickly confronted with changing conditions, but don't slow quickly enough.
Especially when it's this busy – cyclists belong in a protected bike lane.
Look safe to you?
