Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

Has anyone else had the experience of peds in the bike lane, oblivious to where they are?

I slow down when I bike through there but some oblivious lady walked more in front of me last night when I rang my bell and I had to swerve dangerously.

What is the issue? Fading paint, more public education? A curb or physical barricade just at this location to deter peds from using the lane?

People seem especially oblivious here and I don’t want anyone to get hurt!

the fact you have cars going down bike lanes because they think it's a road and have to install concrete barriers to stop them(tenth line) should be enough context how people are oblivious are in this city
