dashcam – Out of the Wilderness

This type of median curb is a disaster!

Modern designs can be really cool. So can cities and neighborhoods designed for pedestrian safety. As a part-time cyclist, I appreciate when there are measures put in place to make people safer. For instance, crosswalks for people walking through intersections. That’s a no-brainer.
