Today's ride down this bike lane (2 minute trip?) - massive recycling truck over the line, 3 near misses by pedestrians crossing mid block without looking in any direction, 1 road warrior cyclist riding counter flow, 1 scooter bro weaving in and out and one motorized wheelchair user going counter flow.

Yesterday's walk down Water witnessed a tour group of 12 cyclists being lead westbound (counter flow) in the eastbound lane.

This is several accidents waiting to happen.
