Some North County cyclists say change needs to happen on a stretch of Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas after a fellow cyclist was killed over the weekend.
The crash happened near the 2700 block of Coast Highway 101.
Shaun Wallace told CBS 8 the problem is the protected bike lanes. He said the bollards and wheel stops are to blame for crashes.
"Any time you put an immovable object next to a highly used bike lane, some cyclists are going to end up crashing into them," he said.
Wallace, a 2-time Olympic cyclist, said he and other cycling advocates warned the city four years ago not to install them. He said before they went in, there were no crashes in the area where the cyclist died. He said since they went in, he and others have been tracking the numbers. He said there have been more than 30 since 2020.
