The bits of trail that were a problem before are all smooth now. It is really nice to be able to stay in the bike lanes from crossing to crossing (or ped lanes) now.
This isn’t technically a trail “condition”, but I think it qualifies as a trail “item of note”. For the last few days as I wait for the light at Columbia Pike and Four Mile Run, the button to call the “walk” signal has been acting odd: blinking instead of solid red. This morning I kept waving at it in hopes it’d act normal, but what happened was so far from normal it almost made me miss the light. Instead of the usual angry man saying “wait” (that guy sounds like he’s already counted to 3 and if the kids don’t come in RIGHT NOW there will be consequences) a young woman’s voice told me to “change password”!
It’s always helpful to stay updated on route safety, especially for those of us who ride regularly.
Speaking of safety, especially for night rides, having a reliable bike light is crucial. I’ve been using Gaciron lights, and they offer great visibility and durability. If anyone is looking for a high-performance bike light, check them out here: https://www.gaciron-shop.com/.
