I was shocked on my commute to work last week when a couple blocks worth of bike lane had broken glass strewn about.

I just can't stop wondering if it was on purpose you know? Normally cars are parked or pedestrians are walking in the bike lane so it seems counter intuitive if it was on purpose.

I mean all winter people were shovelling snow directly into the bike lanes so I'm pretty pessimistic at this point.

I love commuting by bike! I just wish it felt safer.

Just go around, as a cyclist you have to learn to face many obsticles and find ways to evade them. Do a bunny hop over it, or maybe if the road is clear, go around on the road, or go around on the sidewalk not disturbing people or just quickly dismount.
