Accident leaves no second thoughts for bike lane
This is a response to “W. Nickerson St. will get bike lane” [NWWednesday, May 12].
I had a serious bike accident on West Nickerson Street when commuting to work. I was knocked unconscious, broke my collarbone and was dizzy for six months.
Nickerson Street is dangerous for bikes, and cars. The lanes are too narrow for the current high speeds and curves. Changing to a single wider lane, plus a bike lane is safer for everyone. I drive it, too, and a single lane is plenty for the traffic. The city has been planning this for years; it is the smart choice.
