It would appear that the Kolb construction detour *was* originally open to bicycles until they started complaining about having to ride in the dirt and dust through the construction area. I'll bet that one or more of them concocted some nonsense about how "dangerous" it is to try to operate a bicycle off-pavement simply because it was less embarrassing than whining about getting dirty. The squeaky wheel might get the grease - but it also tends to be the first one to get replaced.

The road in question is under U of A jurisdiction and they have chosen to close it to bicycles. If it were Pima County, it would be open to bicycles and sporting that sign.

That is the way I read it anyhow. I think the sign is just an example of what should be used in this case, not that it is actually being used. That is the way I read it anyhow.

This seems perfectly appropriate, or maybe i'm missing something? Erik,
