just make sure your bars are less than 820mm
Nica requires guard rails on both sides. This photo just shows the first one being built. Without these in place, the NICA race Would have been moved to it different venue.Aren’t these going to tend to force the kids like…off the side?
This.yeesh, those guard rails look like they make the bridge more dangerous. clipping you bars on them would not be fun, especially at race pace.
Because the bridge is too narrow for the intended purpose. It is being widened for this exact reason.yeesh, those guard rails look like they make the bridge more dangerous. clipping you bars on them would not be fun, especially at race pace.
The rails seem much taller than they are - 42"
The deck is currently 35", and will be expanded between 45"-48" depending on the abutment,
I was considering an angled cut at the top of the posts so it would "feel" wider.
Seemed like something i could do afterwards if needed.
A top board should also be installed - "on the flat"
Could also make the middle rails flush with the posts. Not horrible.

The bridge was wider, and not as long last year.

Honestly a jump looks safer, I know at least half of the NICA team I run would crash on thatyeesh, those guard rails look like they make the bridge more dangerous. clipping you bars on them would not be fun, especially at race pace.
is it progress ?
Sorry didn't mean to imply that I was opposed to the railing. I meant to poke fun at @Patrick and the 1 post he had up when I got there.Nica requires guard rails on both sides.

Almost no one is happy to see them, but keep in mind that 400 or so kids will have a chance to race in the state where NICA didn’t exist not that long ago.
