Did anyone find a rear light this evening?

Hi. I’m wondering if anyone found my rear light about an hour ago. I think it flew off my bike while riding over the rather abrupt first speed-bump on Key Blvd at Adams St. in Arlington (heading west away from Veitch). I went back to search for it five minutes later but without any luck. Did anyone pick it up? I would be eternally grateful… w&w

Sorry, I haven’t been through Key recently. I’m curious about that speedbump though. Is it new (as of repaving last year)? It’s poorly marked and very tough to see at night. I failed to notice it before riding over it on a CaBi one evening last fall, and I didn’t recall it having been there previously.

Yes, it is new, and while a speed bump is needed there, this one was not installed properly (angle is too sharp) and needs to be painted in a more obvious way. PLEASE let Arlington know you agree that this speed bump is dangerous for cyclists, and they should prioritize fixing it (des@arlingtonva.us – I’ve let them know, but more voices would help).
