2 years agoSo many cycle paths have gates or other structures that thwart touring cyclists. The turntable style types are just horrible especially if they are on a grill structure that wheels can get stuck in. We refer to all such structures as bicycle gyms. On your tandem it would be a nightmare. Relived to know you crossed safely.

Bicycle gyms - that's funny. It is frustrating that people can be so clueless when designing bicycle facilities.
