Bike Vs. Bulbout: Woman Hurt

Item: Bike versus bulbout: Missoula woman injured in crash /Michael Moore, Missoulian

More Info: Becky Broeder knew it was just a matter of time before a bicyclist crashed into one of Missoula’s new and controversial “bulbouts.” Broeder, who often commutes by bike, had called the city to voice her concerns over the concrete curb extensions, but figured the discussion would really ramp up once someone was injured. “I figured that there would probably have to be a test case before we really figured out what to do with them,” she said Monday. “I just didn’t plan to be that case.”

Question: Coeur d’Alene has installed bulbouts on Sherman Avenue and now on the still-closed section of Fourth Street through Midtown. Have you ever had a close call involving a bulbout?
