I do like the concept of sharrows, but the road quality is so poor on this section, and some manhole covers are directly in the sharrow path. Maybe on a mountain bike at 40psi it doesn't make a difference, but I'm generally on 23mm tires at 120psi so I'll continue to take the lane in this area to avoid those hazards. I assume the rest of Cayuga is in better shape now, although I haven't been on it since the latest paving so I'm not sure. -Andy I’ve only been on Cayuga St from the south end heading north until Green so far.
