I’m not sure about the whole “bike detectors” at F and Collins—I plan to e-mail the city on the question of whether they actually changed the devices so that they can detect bikes—but experience suggests they might have. It certainly seemed like I (on my bike!) triggered the light Friday, which is a good thing.
Not that the commute was universally good.
As I stated in my “goose” post, I got a flat Thursday. I fixed it and ride Friday, but somehow in removing and replacing the front wheel, I messed up the front brake, and was riding for 10 miles with my front brake constantly engaged.
Not fun. But, note the photo. There is a tiny spring on each side of the break, meant to pull the shoes away from the wheel evenly. I had accidentally released one of those springs, and I think the problem is fixed. Did not have a chance to ride today to find out, but I should tomorrow.
Well, cool. No flat tire, brakes that work and lights that answer the call of a biker. The city and my life are both getting more bike friendly.
