How's this for Accessibility?

[fatboy]

Up at Grand Timber Lodge in Breckenridge, I guess this moron was more worried about the bikes than others using the sidewalk. The idjit on the either side were just as bad, both overhanging the sidewalk y 18" easily. grrrrr.......

Bad design, see the same problem at markets, design a 4 foot sidewalk and park the ice machine and propane tank sales on the sidewalk.

my opinion, sidewalks should be separated from streets, parking area by a 4 foot or larger strip

Cant blame the white car ... no wheel stop. But the bikes are definitely an ego problem.

A, yeah, they should be able to discern where the front of their vehicle is, no excuse in my book.

They may have been taught to pull forward until the wheels hit the curb.

Can't blame either driver, blame the designer and the AHJ.

still no wheel stops

Now, that sidewalk may not be the accessible POT. It may end at the point the photo is taken

That’s just ignorant.
But after a long drive with the wife bitchin the whole way, I can see just landing in a spot to check in.

That is the second time I have seen you use the acronym "POT". What does that stand for?

You can see that the sidewalk proceeds farther and around a corner

We had the same situation here locally at a Chase Bank, a quick discussion with the regional manager and tire stops were put in. In this case it was even worse because the sidewalk itself was basically to narrow so any intrusion caused problems.

 

[Yikes]

Path Of Travel
- or maybe...
Parked Over Trail
Piece Of Trash
Pedestrians Obliterated Today
Potentially Overloaded Trailerhitch

I had an employee that was a major bike rider, 15-20 plus miles min a day,

When he saw things like that he would let the air out of the tires and leave a note, "being inconsiderate of others is why people dislike us bike riders, grow up and don't forget to check your tires." on the windshield.

As to me, I prefer to walk in the street or parking lot, the sidewalks are always to cluttered with garbage.

Path Of Travel, usually predicated with the word "accessible".


(4) Path of travel. An alteration that affects or could affect the usability of or access to an area of a facility that contains a primary function shall be made so as to ensure that, to the maximum extent feasible, the path of travel to the altered area and the restrooms, telephones, and drinking fountains serving the altered area are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs, unless the cost and scope of such alterations is disproportionate to the cost of the overall alteration.

Wheel stops = a long narrow piece of material hated by all snow removal contractors

 

[fatboy]

Yeah, I would have like to think that was it, but we BBQ'd for quite a while, then in the morning it was gone, but back again last night, exact same position.

Just an self-centered.........

People sure get worked up over trifling offenses. Letting the air out the tires is worth getting your ass kicked.

 

[ADAguy]

How do you measure "trifling?" ice?

ICE,

He was and still is a major rider, unlike the west coast, the north east does not have common bike pathways anywhere near the same. Thus his personal feeling is why add more problems for bike riders who are already disliked for their poor road skills they share with others.

His way of telling other riders to remember that non-bike riders use those same areas and be courteous.

Letting air out of the tires, not like he cut them, and I am told any serious rider always checks their tires before going for a ride.

 

[ICE]

Picayunish, no harm no foul perceived slights qualify as trifling. At worst the picture shows an example of rude behavior....after all, they are forcing people to exit the sidewalk and traverse six feet of grass.

A spandex clad scoundrel exhorting people to be courteous. Punishing malefactors ......Karen was his name.
