The bike lane was full of broken glass. (beehaw.org)

I was shocked on my commute to work last week when a couple blocks worth of bike lane had broken glass strewn about.

I just can't stop wondering if it was on purpose you know? Normally cars are parked or pedestrians are walking in the bike lane so it seems counter intuitive if it was on purpose.

I mean all winter people were shovelling snow directly into the bike lanes so I'm pretty pessimistic at this point.

I love commuting by bike! I just wish it felt safer.

It’s also common that tougher car tires are not affected. When they roll over debris it is sometimes pushed to the side of the street. I ride near the ocean and the bike lane is usually Sandy and much more treacherous.

Good luck and be safe
