Are you the Squeaky Wheel?

This morning I rode in to work and was given a gift by the city of a surprise of loose gravel on pavement by the city. Right on a highway off ramp. I made it to work safe, and decided that the only way to get things done is to be noisy. I decided to email the mayor and politely described what was wrong and how a simple sign warning me would have made the highly dangerous situation his guys caused a less dangerous one. I also informed him that another motorcyclist may get seriously hurt if they don't get a sign posted right away.

 

I also let city officials know about sand on the roads and other problems that make a road incredibly dangerous to a motorcycle.

 

Do you? are you your community's Squeaky wheel that complains about dangers and dangerous roads?

Yup, count me in.

I go to our county board of supervisors meetings since we are such a rural area. They are usually happy to oblige, but sometimes it takes a few reminders.
