Ha, wow thanks that must have cost all of $10. Glad to see our tuition money going to good use. And there are still all the same problems with no connectivity, speeding motorists who dont realize there is a bike lane or that bikes have the right of way. I see left/right hook accidents almost happen daily. I almost got run over by some idiot who didn't even look before he cut in front of me to turn into a parking lot. Say a girl yesterday almost get hit as well when a car was turning right onto university and failed to yield to her. The speed limits around campus should be like 20 mph and actually be enforced. I see no speed enforcement anywhere. Police are more concerned that we dismount our bikes on scholars walk. The cross walks on the upper Washington ave bridge are the most stupid thing I have ever seen. I think they want students to die... on a side note I'm on my 4th tire inter-tube in a month because there is so much broken glass all over the bikes lanes around campus. I shouldn't have to risk my life to get to class each day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17629790.post-11998019691388570322011-10-15T02:05:39.281-06:002011-10-15T02:05:39.281-06:00Pretty effective material, much thanks for your ar...Pretty effective material, much thanks for your article.www.burgos-3d.comhttp://www.burgos-3d.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17629790.post-91466769266667075392011-09-22T19:45:10.597-06:002011-09-22T19:45:10.597-06:00Reading this post was by far the highlight of my d...Reading this post was by far the highlight of my day, which is unlikely to be eclipsed unless it's by the post from which I linked to this. You have perfectly captured my experience of cycling at the U over the last 15 years.

I go to the U and had to suffer through that strange monstrosity by the STSS building and now they're talking about closing half the bridge (including the bike side) for the central corridor construction?

They are FREE to download! They presents a collection of wide range research results of robotics scientific community. robot modelling & design, in which different approaches in kinematical, dynamical and other design issues of mobile robots are discussed. Its roots include many engineering and scientific disciplines from mechanical, electrical and electronics engineering to computer, cognitive and social sciences.I hope you will enjoy reading the book as much as I have.

Far too often there are perfectly ride-able bike lanes that simply peter out (for example, Marshall Ave. in St. Paul). Other bike-lanes seem fine, but they mysteriously vanish when you reach an intersection, giving you the option of pulling in front of speeding cars in one lane or speeding, turning cars in the other. Some bike lanes are much like a Hall of Wonder, wherein you get to tour some of the Cities' most potholerific gutters. Others, like Fairview in St. Paul, give you about two feet of lane that offers storm-drains and deep manhole covers by the dozens (special hint, this lane is the most fun in fall, when fallen leaves hide the grates and you get to play a swell game of "where's the hole!"--even more fun at night!).<br /><br />My current fave in St. Paul: the new Marshall avenue near the bridge, which offers you a bike lane if you're heading east, but gives you naught but a "Bikes May Use Full Lane" sign hidden behind a tree when you're heading west.<br /><br />Still, over in Mpls, that new "Riverlake" greenway is pretty sweet! So there's something.Colinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17629790.post-42697825049202266962010-11-15T16:22:55.165-06:002010-11-15T16:22:55.165-06:00Boo! :) I thought you had actually found out why I...Boo! :) I thought you had actually found out why I have to carry my bike down the stairs by the Law School; or whether or not it is actually okay to ride the Scholars Walk (yes, the name does imply a mode of transit, but come on!) as it's the only east-west through-way. <br />Your observations are often discussed among us cyclists over in Rapson Hall!Amber Sausenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187485747082379507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17629790.post-17737001507560916422010-11-15T12:24:04.304-06:002010-11-15T12:24:04.304-06:00While I was a student at the U, what i always want...While I was a student at the U, what i always wanted more than anything was to be able to ride on the bottom level of the Washington Avenue bridge. The upper level is nice once you're up there, but it connects to the local street network very poorly on either end of the bridge.<br /><br />Very entertaining post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12610344574135095983noreply@blogger.com
