IT'S FIXED!! I'm not sure if anyone responsible for fixing this reads this forum. If so my wheels and I are very pleased. This is the one spot on the path that I truly dreaded.

I always lift my front wheel at the base of the bridge coming from either direction. There was some additional repaving done shortly after the bridge was installed to even out the slope of the path, but I think the "lip" gap has gotten worse with time.

<p>I'm sure the "hump" is the bridge just before the yacht club after you go over the river going south. I found this picture online, or look <a href="http://www.about-bicycles.com/chicago-lakefront-trail-pics5.html" target="_blank">here</a> to see it in context, although you can't really see the lip in these pictures.</p>

<p>The lip is a bit worse going north, but it also comes just before the bridge over the river, where cyclists need to really, really, really slow down. Some sort of traffic-calming device would be useful there, but having a really bad spoke-breaking bump in the road with no warning isn't the best idea. </p>
