Here's what I saw today on the Drag... Not only was she in the bike lane, but she was looking down at her phone for a few moments.

Similar things happen in the cycletrack on Berkman near HEB -- they're primarily being used as sidewalks and I've stopped using them... Though in those pedestrians' defense, there is a lot of construction on Berkman.

I'm curious how others feel about these cycle tracks. I'm seeing them go in at Mueller, and they concern me -- particularly those with curbs separating bikes and cars.

Seems like traffic entering the street will treat these like sidewalks and block them when pulling out. Also feels like the risk of right hooks will be much greater.

Mostly, I don't like the feeling of being trapped. What do you do when there is glass in the lane, or when you want to turn left?

Anyway, I haven't tried a cycle track yet, so these concerns may be unfounded. Just curious what others think.

One place comes to mind... 51st Street east of i35. With the Mueller construction, there are always lot of large rocks in the eastbound bike lane.
