I was waiting for the U-Bridge once at about 1am, and I had another ~14 miles to ride on my bike before I got home. For about 15 minutes, the bridge would open, almost close but then stop with one side about 2 feet up. I was NOT looking forward to riding around to another bridge. Another cyclist rode up, watched one of these cycles, and then he looked over at me and shrugged, rode up and did the ~2ft drop w/o incident. I gave it about 30 seconds, looked around for cops and then went over myself. It was one of the scariest things I have done, and I was just hyper-aware for the rest of the ride home and woke up my housemates to tell them this story.
