Has the 14th Street Bridge closing gotten you on your bike?

The Midtown Alliance is interested to hear from Midtown commuters who have recently begun riding a bike to work to avoid the traffic snarls resulting from the 14th Street Bridge closing. I have noticed an increase in new bike commuters (many are riding on the sidewalk) around Midtown, but I have yet to strike up conversation with any.

I provided a story about how my Sunday ride found auto traffic in the Bus/Bike lane on the 17th Street Bridge, and the police officers we spoke with were sympathetic with the motorists because of the bridge closing.

Let me know if you or anyone you know was a former single-occupant driver and is now leaving the car at home even if it is only occasionally.
