Most of us don't commute on our bikes at night...

Then how do you get home after a night of drinking? :scratch:

Don't you guys have 'alleys' over there in California?

Alleys!

You'd have to be blitzed, and as crazy as Fred to walk into an alley at night here in So California!

I crawl home. :blink:

This hydrant would be no danger to me, well maybe a black eye. :blackeye:

This is a handicap fire hydrant for Dachshunds .

Chicago's standard fire hydrant is short. Some have spools under them, but a lot are like this --

Milwaukee has short ones too --

Up until 2011, the sign/permit gave community gardeners in Milwaukee the ability to use hydrant water for community vegetable gardens.

These were also made by the City of Milwaukee. Note traffic signal base above hydrant.

No, but some of us bike riders ride and daydream at the same time. :grin:

Seriously, I am often amazed at the hazards that governments install in sidewalk right-of-ways.

Is it just me or does it look like the sidewalk is sculpted under the two hose nipples just full of dirt. Meaning you could still attach a hose.

Hi Larry,

When I took the photos of the hydrant, I noticed where the cement had been chipped away from the caps. The depressions are now filled with dirt. Guess that was an after thought. Still amazes me the side walk was raised without consideration for the hydrant. This is a very small mostly dead community and I am sure their resources are very limited. Would think that whomever poured the cement would have noticed.

Cheers!
