Reply to comment by gamergeek17 in I'm legit scared of people in cars these days. Why does it feel like society is breaking down? by MintyLacroix

I live at 9th and K and I actively avoid walking or cycling down K. Between the moron drivers, bombed out tarmac, and disappearing bike lane, it’s an absolute shitshow. I go to I St, cycle all the way down to 2nd, then cut back to K at the underpass if I head downtown. Even as a very experienced cyclist, I do not trust riding a bike on this section of K.

Seriously. I frequently cross K at 10th while walking my dogs or heading to Union Market. I’ll definitely be triple checking before I cross from here on out.

Good luck! I honestly feel like it’s gotten kinda rough around this corner the last few months. People driving like animals.

The hideously bad road pavement conditions don’t help. People serve to avoid destroying their car in an 8 inch pit, which is understandable. Meanwhile that road is useless for cyclists.
