The bike lane was full of broken glass. (self.bikecommuting)

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.

Honestly my tires were alright so it probably was security glass.

It's a main/busy street with lots of bars and the wealth/housing gap is becoming unbearable so someone breaking car windows makes sense.

As you said though I've seen lots of hate first hand toward cyclists so when I see something like glass in the bike lane I just feel sad.

I visited Cork years ago and it was not exactly walkable so I love that you were out there biking but I'm sorry you had bad experiences there.
