Since this is what my tire looked like last night, I decided to ride the folder this morning.

I stopped to take pics of the new sharrows & bike lane stripings (they're not brand new; they were painted on in the winter, the day before a significant snowfall... and I think the plows took most of the paint right off). Alas, the complaint I made with the first batch -- that the "sharrow" is hugging the right gutter, in the right turn lane, rendering the sign that says we can use the full lane confusing and pretty pointless. (My blog has the pics). Usually Urbana is ahead of Champaign (the town next door) in doing right by bicycles, but not with this.
