That's Pennsylvania leadership for you, sharp as a marble and thick as a brick, Idlewild park is in Ligonier

I will still ride on it

That's an activist pulling some bull crap. Notify the city, and get a city sign legend. It's probably an illegally placed sign!

More stupid changes meant to puss off the population and get everyone on their nerves.

Old saying,,,,,, 'If you can't stand the heat,,, stay out of the kitchen' bicycles don't belong in the roadway anymore !!!

If what you do will get you fired anywhere else, then you definitely work for the government.

Laws/rules tend to change over time..

Cut the sign down that say no bikes I’m sure it’s a fake

Next time, someone will have scratched out "bike" from the name 😅

Is this dumb yes is there plenty of places to ride bikes and do trail riding in the Reno area yes.

WTF Reno!

Ummm but according to the law you have pulled up at minute 1 and second 18 it claims to be illegal to operate a bicycle on a sidewalk in a central business district. If I'm not mistaken in the video you recorded, you are clearly riding on a sidewalk in a busy central area. As a long time citizen of the Reno area I am well informed of the pedestrian laws. Also, as fellow biker I have concern for your safety, as I believe you are putting yourself in grave danger of getting run over. This dear kind meter maid seemed as if he was looking out for you. I would have been grateful for his presence and kind words. I do hope you change your ways and don't get smushed by a careless motorist.

To your public comment, I'm not sure why the Virginia Line and Lincoln Line operate differently than a numbered line... they don't even meet the very low standard to qualify as a "basic BRT". If you use the standards set forth by the Institute for Transportation & Development Policy, for a system to qualify as a BRT, it must score at least 20 out of 35 in the BRT Basics section of the scorecard... if we are being generous, the Virginia and Lincoln lines score between 7 and 10 out of 35 in that section. And if we were to use the full scorecard, it is entirely possible the system would go negative on points with all the deductions that would have to be taken (such as poorly maintained infrastructure with the nonfunctional route info displays, lack of enforcement of Right-of-Way for the very few sections that have it, which that lack of dedicated right of way is a large part of why it doesn't qualify as BRT, and pedestrian and cyclist fatalities along the corridor). I'd love for those two lines to be brought up to BRT standards (I'd love for them to be gold standard, like what Albuquerque has achieved, but at this point, I'd settle for basic). itdp.org/library/standards-and-guides/the-bus-rapid-transit-standard/

Same thing here. Those Brakes are horrible. They strarted squeeking after a year. I cleaned them, added tons of grease (the special shimano one) but they still sqeek. Today the rear wheel one broke when i had to service it again. This Product is terrible.

I kind of wish that you had made a bigger deal about the fact that bikes using the bridge are expected to share the lane with heavy trucks, not just cars. Also, there is plenty of room for proper bike lanes on that bridge. There is almost never, if ever, enough traffic to justify needing too lanes in each direction. Cut it down to one motor vehicle lane each direction to give the space to sidewalks and bike lanes and drivers, who aren't having a kneejerk "not my lanes" reaction won't even notice a difference.

What a complete joke. Well documented. Such a shame though, terrible bias police offers as well.

We need more people like Brekhus on the council. I doubt any of the others have ever actually been out on the streets or would bother talking to random constituents out and about.

Subbed. I'm a local Renoite as well & my life & house is CONSUMED with anything/everything bikes, from bmx to ebikes! 😆 I ride with Bike Night Reno as well, I'm the Dad usually with my son on the back of my ebike as my co pilot. 😆

It's refreshing to see the Truckee River Bike Path being used for its intended purpose.

This was definitely one of those headlines that I really enjoyed, it was so completely dishonest, but at the same time, for a few brief seconds, it felt good to think that just once there was a car versus bike collision and the car lost. When you know that the unbiased reality is that, just based on physics, any time that a car and a bike, even more so a truck and a bike, have a collision, the bike is going to lose, the fantasy of the opposite being true is kind of tantalizing. Of course, RGJ had it as clickbait. Honestly though, this headline doesn't bother me nearly as much as all the passive voice headlines that every news station likes to use. "Pedestrian hit and killed by drunk driver", no, stop using passive voice to shift blame, "drunk driver hits and kills pedestrian."

I have no idea why this was recommended to me but I enjoy it nontheless Unfortunately, I do not have a soution to your problem :(

All I could suggest is some sanding on the tighter tolerance parts, best of luck.

Get a dirt bike, problem solved! Might help you lose your virginity a little faster too, just saying.

Yah it's normal. They are the STUPIDEST boat anchor thing EVER put on a bicycle. I could only get 38.1 mph out of it and Nexus 7i, on my speed hill, where my SA XL-RD5w did 46. The 7i does shift better with the paddle shifter. Overall it's likely 1 mph slower. Even worse in winter. OTOH .... Sturmey Archer 90 mm XL DRUM brakes are the BEST thing ever put on a bicycle. ZERO drag and works the same in any weather. My first one with a dyno, has 32,000 miles with 8,200 on tour with the bike at 120 lbs, with me near 300 total. The drum brake is right up with disc brakes stopping, but without squealing, fussing and short pad life. It'll have 36,000 miles when it gets done.

RTC public feedback tends to be, "we want the public to tell us how amazing we are." I grew up in Reno, Reno will probably always be my home, but damn do I miss living in Salt Lake sometimes and complaining about UTA and their problems, but at least Mike Allegra (their director when I was living there) had a background in transportation (corrupt bastard that he was), and when he left, they listened to residents who said they wanted someone who truly had experience with an integrated transit system, so they brought in the guy who was general counsel for SEPTA to take over. Meanwhile RTC hired the old assistant city manager. Sure glad the guy who oversaw parks and rec is now responsible for our regional transportation system.

The fence you pointed at around 5:00 is a temporary construction fence designed to keep trespassers off the site but also allow for convenient construction access.

The City likely needs permits from the US Army Corp of Engineer because it is a WOTUS designated waterbody. This can all be researched online. Google "Truckee River Restoration and Construction Site Permitting Handbook. Sierra Nevada Construction (SNC) seems to be the awarded low bid contractor to perform the needed maintenance activities, obviously the infrastructure is in dire need to restoration.

I'm surprised that there is a street with normal size for pedestrians in US. What is the point there, City Council wants to do there? Prioritize cars and take away space for pedestrians?

I do somewhat take issue with your statement that we are wheeled pedestrians. We really aren't. We definitely aren't cars, that's for damned sure, but we aren't really pedestrians either. With a bicycle, we can easily get up to speeds of 20-30 mph, making us potentially dangerous (though definitely nowhere near as dangerous as cars are) to pedestrians. Good cycle infrastructure needs to recognize that while bikes are closer to pedestrians in the pedestrian versus car spectrum, we aren't just pedestrians with wheels (that would be roller skates and roller blades). Also, a few places you mention narrowing lanes to 9', I'd recommend doing that the entire length, whether or not it is needed for space, just because it will better encourage driving at a consistent safe speed the entire length of the corridor (people tend to speed up and slow down as lanes widen and narrow). In the areas where that reduction in lane width wasn't needed to make room for the cycle track, the additional space can be given to additional landscaping (downtown desperately needs more urban trees for shade in the summer). I'd also propose that since your proposal resulted in a net increase of parking spaces and a net reducing in loading zones that some of the parking be reallocated to loading zones to balance things out.

Bike lanes are a joke let people do there job

This is why you can't have law enforcement be a solution to something that should be designed properly. If the bike lane was protected with a curb or concrete bollards, then it physically dissuades scofflaws from using it as parking.

Germany has the same concept of cyclists shared the sidewalk with pedestrians. Pedestrians hug the houses and cyclists hug the curb. Yet, it is not perfect. Separated bike paths are the best solution, separated from cars and pedestrians.

Honestly, things happen. I get it, getting hit is a massive downer but it's supposed to be a chill ride with a group of people. There is no reason to escalate to a physical altercation unless you feel like your life depends on it. Seems like they still have highschool egos. Smh

That's how you get banned from group rides smh

And he's drunk and throwing hands at random people at the group ride?! I'd have knocked his ass out and sent him to the hospital.

Punk ass kid on a Casey Neistat e-bike wearing shades and a ball cap.

Whenever I am cycling around someone who seems inexperienced, I give them space. Stopping in the bike lane to take photos of a group ride when you haven't built up a safe lead? That's his fault, not hers.

imagine taking your cart back id do the same

Take an angle grinder to that iron wrought fence. It's a full day of work but I doubt they'd be able to build the fence again so quick.

the world needs more of this. rock on!

Dude should've used the money he spent on that truck he clearly doesn't need to take a class in entry-level mechanics

Given a choice between taking space from streets or taking from sidewalks, you would rather take from sidewalks? Why?

I bet your proposal would even save money on infrastructure in the long run; fewer square feet of motorway asphalt to maintain. Fantastic video :)

Those are some good alleys at the beginning of the video.

*Speeds up to him*

least self righteous cylcist

Biker put himself in a potentially dangerous situation due to pride.

i love it when snowflakes call other snowflakes a snowflake

Yeah um they bitched you, you really shouldn't have followed em on such a small remark

Unfathomable!
