BikeBox on Milton Avenue in Columbus is dangerous - watch video

Comments

  1. It looks like there are some of the same cyclists posing with different scenarios, which leads me to assume this is a staged video and therefore in accurate of the reality. I wouldn't call the bike box dangerous if it is a staged video!

  2. I believe the point of the video is to show the instances where this particular bike box application is not the most desirable. If changes are made then I think it would be more usable. The city needs to provide some education to the use of the bike box.

  3. Ive never had a problem at this location. I'm not quite sure why you wasted your time with the filming. You should have been riding. It looked beautiful.

  4. As a blogger it disappoints me that people won't put a name on their comments. But I digress... It was a beautiful day when the video was taken. I WAS riding my bicycle, somwhere. Alas, I did not shoot the video.

    A friend of mine, Tricia Kovacs, who is a certified LAB cycling instructor, shot the video to bring attention to the possible situations that make it dangerous. I value her commitment to Columbus' cycling community and her opinion on matters as such.

    I am happy to hear that you do not experience any problems at the intersection. I still stand firm that the city needs to provide education for this type of bicycle lane/signal system so that people know what to expect.
