Cocaine is hardly news until it turns tragic:

That seems like the thing any subscriber of _Make_ magazine could build for less than $100. However, 10 mph is maddeningly slow on a bike. I'm not much of a fan of physical segregation between bikes and cars, except in unusual situations. But I'd welcome physical segregation between pedestrians and bikes in places like that. It makes more sense to me than keeping bikes to "barely balance" speed. I've probably said this before, but when our local metropark closed a road (18 feet wide) and made it a bike-ped MUP, they imposed a 10 mph bike limit. (No speed limit for runners or skaters, just bikes.) They attempted to enforce it with an enclosed police scooter with a radar gun. The cop tried to pull over one guy I knew. He was probably doing about 15 mph, and he's not the type to ever endanger anyone, so it was probably empty pavement where he did that. He refused to pull over. He simply accelerated and rode away. Turns out that scooter had a top speed that wasn't as great as his. - Frank Krygowski |

Elegant solution! in re British 10mph signs, at least the UK spends less than California, at $3million+ per day to not build a train which, if actually built, can never break even on operations https://ktla.com/2018/08/26/californ...lation-delays/ -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
