$191 ticket for biking on Lake St

last week, my father-in-law received a $191 ticket for not stopping at a stop sign on Lake Street while on his bike. He asked the police officer why he wasn't ticketing all the cars that drive down that street at 25 or 30 mph despite it being a slow street and the cop said that a slow street is not legally- enforceable. And he said people have been complaining about bikes blowing stops signs.

It's unreal how you can get away with speeding in a car down a residential street designated for non-motorized recreation, but penalized for not stopping at a stop sign on your bike.

Why no east-west bike lane in the northern part of the city?

Huge blank spot in bike infrastructure east of Steiner (where Clay loses its bike lane and Post gets scary) and north of Fulton. Why?

It's so inefficient to drop down to Fulton or even Page when you're trying to get to the financial district from the Richmond.

Husband did this while I was out

Too high? And what to do about the cables? We just moved in so no art is up yet.
