Please remove the rumble strips on US 1 between Hobe Sound and Tequesta along Jonathan Dickinson Park. These things have ruined road cycling in our community and are a hazard to cyclists and motorists alike as we now have to ride in the motor vehicle lane.
Matthew supported: Stop Installing Bike Lane Rumble Strips on Hutchinson Island & the Treasure Coast!I’ve almost wrecked badly while riding in the bike lane, because of the rumble strips. Many cyclists will end up crashing from them which will damage very expensive bikes and is seriously putting the cyclists lives at risk.
Tanner supported: Stop Installing Bike Lane Rumble Strips on Hutchinson Island & the Treasure Coast!A friend of mine got seriously hurt out on Hutchinson Island. The bike path had some roots growing under the path he crossed over the rumble strips and went down. He has a broken calcavle cracked ribs. What were they thinking when they installed these rumble strip!!! This area of Florida is not bike friendly. I just got back from Miami lots of cyclist no rumble strips … Fix it before some gets killed !!!! My friend was lucky he didn’t get run over !!!!
Nancy supported: Stop Installing Bike Lane Rumble Strips on Hutchinson Island & the Treasure Coast!This is one of the most unsafe things I’ve ever seen on bike paths. For those of us on 3 wheels or those pulling a trailer with 2 wheels, this is now a tremendous hazard. Our 2 wheels in the front or back of our trikes or on the trailer are now hampered meaning that in many spots of the bike paths, we will actually be riding on the rumble strips. This will cause our trikes and trailers to sway and could cause us to either move into traffic, move into our fellow cyclists, or move into the grass, sand, water or whatever area is to our right. With this said, there is now a higher probability of crashes leading to injuries and fatalities. This needs to be corrected ASAP! Cover the rumble strips or widen the bike path!
Mike supported: Stop Installing Bike Lane Rumble Strips on Hutchinson Island & the Treasure Coast!Lane departure strips should be in the motor vehicle lane as opposed to the bike line. They are dangerous inside the bike lane for many reasons , if there is any debris at all in the bike lane you risk losing control of your bicycle not to mention possibly weakening the structural integrity of the bike. The strips are also notorious for causing flat tires , broken wheels , seat post etc .
Makes it impossible to ride in groups which is much safer than riding alone.
Jesse supported: Stop Installing Bike Lane Rumble Strips on Hutchinson Island & the Treasure Coast!What few bike lanes we have are already too narrow, often encroached by grass and sand, and now by the rumbles. People that are not road cyclists do not understand the dangers the rumbles create. When a bike flips you are catapulted into the pavement possibly into traffic. I know from experience. It has life and death potential and you have no control over it. Please fix this hazard!
