Love this!

Can we also get a "citations for joggers running against traffic in the bike lane" rollout. Whether I'm in my car or on my bike, I'm dodging them about as much as double parked cars and delivery trucks, some times more.

The law (and probably best practice) is for pedestrians to walk/jog against traffic. The law also says to use the sidewalk where available, but given that many sidewalks don't offer a straight path (having to constantly dodge stoops and trees) or are downright dangerous to ankles, we will have to continue sharing the bike lanes and roads until the city decides to become more pedestrian friendly.

Roland, Maryland, the loop around JHU, areas around Montabello, Harford, and Morgan. All with plenty of sidewalks. But I’m left choosing between weaving through joggers like an Olympic slalom, or riding in traffic and becoming another ghost bike.

I personally don’t mind joggers in the bike lanes, as long as they are actually aware of their surroundings and yield to faster-moving bikers (thus I can understand the annoyance). I think that’s more of an education issue than it is an enforcement one.
