If you use the section of the Mount Vernon Trail that crosses the Humpback Bridge… You are actually meant to get off your bike and walk
When traffic volumes are really heavy on the MVT, I agree it’s a good idea to dismount and walk. However, at commuting times when there are few pedestrians/runners, and when bike traffic is sporadic enough that you can see you’re not going to encounter anyone, dismounting to cross the bridge is pretty unnecessary. The MVT at this spot was even narrower throughout much of the winter, yet there were no pylons – we just adapted.
Exactly, the lane has been widened on the humpback bridge so two bikes can be on it at once. The chicanes are annoying and should be removed, people ride through them and then dismount and then people walk across the bridge and mount before going through them again- rendering the whole thing useless.
Also, the tunnel under Memorial- that can fit a biker and runner- happened to me yesterday.
