I'm not sure the folks bombing through the area will give a crap. If everyone uses common sense it might be great. The pessimist in me foresees the same folks running 4 abreast pushing me into now only one vehicle lane. At least right now there's two lanes for cars to use to help us jockey for position a little. <BR/><BR/>On the plus side maybe this will eliminate the clusters of cyclists riding on the inside (left side) of the boulevard. Generally they tend to piss off motorists while creating a corridor for cars to navigate between users on both sides of the lanes. <BR/><BR/>The etiquette on display on BB is generally weak, but no worse than say the blackstone river bikepath between Lincoln and Manville. No really likes to accomodate anyone else, even for a second. <BR/><BR/>I can see it eventually running off the riders training in groups as they'll have much less space to occupy. It's hardly ever a paceline, more like a fast moving clump. There just won't be enough room for them if it's down to one driving lane.<BR/><BR/>Too many aggravated drivers + less driving space = more issues, and probably more idling traffic on the Pawtucket end.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15400774544624205539noreply@blogger.com
