How to report and correct and a list of reported dangerous conditions
If you encounter a dangerous condition such as a pothole or other damaged road surface, worn out bike lane marking, confusing or misleading street signage or striping or other condition which makes bicycling dangerous, report this condition to the responsible city to get it corrected. We provide advice on how to do this, whom to report it to, and a simple form. Also report it to us and we can include this on our list to make everyone aware and track your progress on its correction.
If you are an experienced rider willing to share your experience or a new rider looking for help participate in our google groups to share experiences or ask for advise.
These groups are open to anyone however please no advertising, selling or inappropriate topics.
