If there's one thing that I've learned from traveling over the westbound bike lane on University Ave., it's that Madison city engineers and street maintenance crews are nothing if not stubborn.
How many years have they been annually filling the crevasses on University Ave. with heaping gobs of asphalt that turn chasms into curbs despite numerous protests from cyclists? There are times when I wonder if the cure is worse than the disease. The rubbery tar they use to fill the smaller cracks does tend to grab and pull at bicycle wheels, especially in the summer. Anyone want to lay odds on how many years we'll have to suffer with it before the word not only gets out, but gets through, to the folks with big trucks and orange vests?
