Blakespear's new bike obstacles already cause serious accident

Last year, over the vehement and near-unanimous objections of cycling advocates, Mayor Blakespear rammed through a plan to put asphalt obstacles on Cardiff's 101 to create a separate "multi-use" area while taking away the bike lane. Blakespear's husband, a vocal advocate for the obstacles, was subsequently rejected while trying to get on the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition board of directors.

Maybe the bike people knew what they were talking about.

The obstacles were installed earlier this month, and have already caused a serious bicycle accident.

  1. If dedicated bike lanes, ticket the bike riders for being traffic lanes.

      Survival of the fittest?
      That's one law you clearly didn't qualify for.
      Don't worry, 99% of you're fellow bike dorks didn't either.

  2. Attention all Ctiizens of Encinitas!

    Stay in doors. We will be giving you free THC and bread everyday at noon at a location that will be posted on Blakespear's facebook page.

    You must stay indoors, because that is what you are being told. Stay indoors or you will be shot. Repeat Stay in doors.

    Do NOT be distracted by what all other coastal counties around the State are doing or the World, Mayor Blakespear DEMANDS that you stay indoors.

    The virus is much much more infectious in the surf zone in San Diego water than the Orange County Water and that is why you must not go to the beach and stay in doors. A really really smart Phd said so.

    It doesn't matter that no surfers contracted Corona in the surf zone, they could have and we will not take any chances - Again Stay In Doors.

    we will reassess the conditions once we feel like it, but you must Stay Indoors.

    Attention Citizens - if you are found in violation of not watching enough airtime about covid 19, we will reduce your rations.

    Attention Citizens - Stay In Side for your own safety! By order of Mayor Blakespear

    Attention Citizens!

  3. I’d say the cause of the accident was the rider not paying attention.

    Case closed.

    I like the SDBC mention of town line sprints. Brings back memories. First one to the Solana Beach sign wins.

  4. 9:11, dude, you're repeating the same screed over and over again. We get your point. BTW, it's a state and county wide health order to stay at home. I think you need a walk....

  5. Probably a road biker going too fast and needed an ambulance because his spandex got all in a bunch. Tired of having to coddle the few vocal road bikers.

  6. Tired of Blakespear trying to social re-engineer every square inch of the road. That's what I'm tired of.

    Her "professional staff" leaves a wake of poorly-designed crap all over the place but that doesn't stop Blakespear from talking them up at every opportunity to an ever-growing list of disgruntled residents. Not working, dear.

  7. It's amazing how often this racist blog deletes comments. Over and over and over.

    1. It's amazing how some people never learn the definition of "racist." And never figure out why the comments are deleted. Isn't that the definition of insanity?

    2. The newer owner of this blog ALWAYS censors, suppresses amd desttoys free speech on 'his' blog, especially any comments about the most notorious racists in Encinitas, the Jewish Supremacists.

    1. Wonder if the same people who were pissed that the cardiff school could not build more indoor space on a designated outdoor space are now clamoring to keep open spaces open?

    1. How do you know Venezuela is nice now? Have you been there?


      I hear Somalia is nice too, they have no government, no taxes and a state religion. A right wingers wet dream! Maybe YOU should leave since America is more socialist by the day (thanks Trump!)

  11. Attention all Ctiizens of Encinitas!

    The City has decided that the second wave is coming and the pathways, sidewalks and bike lanes will all be closed effective immediately.

    As in the past, we do not need any real proof, we are just guessing based on the movie Contagion.

    Stay in doors. We will be giving you free Meds and bread everyday at noon at a location that will be posted on Mayor's Blakespear's facebook page.

    You must stay indoors, because that is what you are being told. Stay indoors or you will be shot. Repeat Stay in doors.

    Do NOT be distracted by what all other coastal counties around the State are doing or the World, Mayor Blakespear DEMANDS that you stay indoors.

    The virus is much much more infectious in the surf zone in San Diego water than the Orange County Water and that is why you must not go to the beach and stay in doors. A really really smart Phd said so.

    We have decided again we may or may not open the coast line. It will depend on what CNN can dig up on Sunday.

    It doesn't matter that no surfers contracted Corona in the surf zone, they could have and we will not take any chances - We may or may not open the beaches.

    We experts will reassess the conditions once we feel like it, but you must Stay Indoors.

  12. Blakespear News Letter just posted.

    All I can say is that B'ch is going down. And I voted for her and gave her money. I am a bicyclist and surfer and I thought she had my back. But no.

    She f'd me on listening to logic on bike lanes, and she f'd us all for the closures of the coast for no reason.

    I never thought I would say it, but Blakespear has now the the crown from Jerome Stocks as - THE WORST COUNCILMEMBER OF THE CITY OF ENCINITAS HISTORY.

    Blakespear stands for:

    Over developerment.
    More homeless in Encinitas
    More social programs, homeless tents, and drug addicts.
    More crowded beaches.
    More paved everything.
    More like LA and Orange County

    Join me.
