    That’s a goddamned shame. European tram systems have figured out how to deal with that for years now, I don’t understand why the US refuses to do it

        Can confirm. Crashed on my way from work a year ago. Had to go to the emergency room. Very unpleasant.

          I’m sitting here with a messed up and hugely swollen upper lip and half a dozen bandages. But not from tram tracks, just from my bike losing traction on wet painted concrete at 35-40kph and sliding on my face for a good meter or two. Somehow no broken bones or lost teeth. Hooray for helmets.
