Managed to be unharmed, but there was no warning of this bike lane ending into a curb at the bottom of a hill. Im unscathed and managed to not fall, but shook up. Ill trade a wheel for my bones any day though.
As a flat lander, I have notes to the state of Washington (I rode in Seattle). Stop signs at the bottom of steep hills and some of the choices like the example OP has, not great on bikes. I rented a disc bike and I have never seen brake pads fully worn down before. The rented bike basically had 0 pad left on the front brake, it made stopping sketchy as hell. I did let the shop know when I returned it….
beradical on
What on earth were you looking at!? That is so much lane before the curb lol
