Thanks to Matt for sending word that Sharrows have gone up at at 1st and R St, NW. “This marking is placed in the center of a travel lane to indicate that a bicyclist may use the full lane.”

I don’t know about you guys but when I’m riding a bike the sharrows don’t really comfort me. I love all the new bike lanes but when I’m riding on a street with sharrows I’m still holding my breath. Do other bike riders find sharrows to be useful?
