I’m sitting here with a messed up and hugely swollen upper lip and half a dozen bandages. But not from tram tracks, just from my bike losing traction on wet painted concrete at 35-40kph and sliding on my face for a good meter or two. Somehow no broken bones or lost teeth. Hooray for helmets.
That’s a goddamned shame. European tram systems have figured out how to deal with that for years now, I don’t understand why the US refuses to do it

Greetings from Germany.
Can confirm. Crashed on my way from work a year ago. Had to go to the emergency room. Very unpleasant.

Not in Amsterdam.
Almost ate shit last month while riding.
Wait really? I thought Amsterdam had that hard rubber cover thing over the tram tracks
Not everywhere. I rode there a year ago and it was mostly covered, though at least some areas are open for tire grabbing.
Not in Gravesandestraat.
