    I think you meant to reply to my comment. Yes they do all go squish eventually, really it’s not a great idea for anyone. I used to be one of these young athletic assertive riders and it’s not sustainable. It’s just that only athletic and assertive riders would even be comfortable attempting it, or ever feel that it’s adequate for their needs (And they’d be wrong, it’s not good enough for anyone, even athletic assertive cyclists are better off with a paved, grade-separated cycleway).

      I did but then I read the rest of your comment which is my point - all it takes is one text.

      Besides who can ride at 30mph in American cities with the ruts and potholes on one of those carbon fiber bikes with $200 skinny tires?

        I used to 😅 but I’ve also had my share of near-death experiences doing so. And even back then I would have preferred seperate facilities. Anyway sorry for comment hounding.
