Cruising around the streets of Burlington a few weekends ago, we spotted these interesting city-installed bi
cycle amenities:
- One of several “take back the streets” bicycle parking racks which occupies the same space as one standard motor vehicle parking place. As shown, the bicycle is completely sheltered by the rack and is not locked up on the sidewalk. In a bicycle-heavy, tightly packed city with narrow sidewalks like Burlington, off-the-sidewalk bicycle parking is a real benefit. (Curiously, a scooter operator took advantage of this rack.)
- A share- the-road sign that really communicates to both cyclists and motor vehicle operators.
