According to the data, how many rock-cyclist crashes have there been on a WV road in the last, say, 100 years? More or less than vehicle-cyclist? "When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle From: Frank Gmeindl fgmeindl@gmail.com To: Damien Davis ddavis@cityofmorgantown.org; Bill Austin baustin@labyrinth.net Cc: Bicycle Board bikeboard@bikemorgantown.com Sent: Wednesday, July 8, 2015 9:39 AM Subject: [Bikeboard] Mon Blvd. Bicycle Climbing lane
Fouad resists installing the Mon Blvd. Bicycle Climbing lane because a falling rock might hit a cyclist. Attached are two photos of Huntington bike lanes that were installed in the door zone. The probability of a cyclist getting hit in these door zone bike lanes by an opening vehicle door is much higher than a cyclist riding up Mon Blvd. getting hit by a rock and yet, WVDOH must have approved these DZBLs if not actually installed them.
