A new bike rack was installed here in late June. It has capacity for two bikes lock parallel to the curb.

OK. sorry Ben. It's not your fault. The problem is that I was uploading photos from the originals rather than the modified files.

I was bicycling home from the grocery store a couple weeks ago down Upper State Street between Edwards and Orange. This guy driving a huge delivery truck got frustrated because there wasn't space to safely pass me. He leaned out of his window and yelled "HEY!! YOU GOTTA GET OUT OF MY WAY!!" I gladly would have, except we were all waiting at the Humphrey Street traffic light anyway and me pulling over would have just allowed him to wait in line five feet farther forward. The guys in the car ahead of me turned around, gave me the thumbs up, and shouted "Go bicycles!" The light turned green. I went straight. The guy driving the truck turned right onto Humphrey.

Ben Berkowitz, David Streever, and I measured the width of Upper State Street at several points using a 25-ft measuring tape on October 4th of last year. We determined that the street varies from 39 feet in width to 44 feet, if my memory serves me correctly.
