Tomlinson Bridge Claims Another

When a hundred cyclists joined the monthly Critical Mass bike ride Friday, they made a point of crossing a perilous bridge where cyclists get thrown from their bikes while trying to cross railroad tracks.

The point was to spread the word about how to cross the Tomlinson Bridge safely. The ride came amid disappointment that the state has failed to address a major safety concern. State workers studied the area and put up one warning sign.

Be very careful crossing the road!” called out cyclist Mark Abraham.

Despite the calls for caution, one cyclist still went down.
