Whether it's avoiding an pothole, squeezing past a shopping cart or another biker, or simply swerving a few inches from the center of the path--I don't think I've ever been through the tube without wiping some of that grimy dirt onto my arm! :) I think the bikers and pedestrians do an OK job of cleaning the tile walls in the tube with their sleeves!

The white tile is pretty reflective when clean, but I don't think there has been any real consistent maintenance/cleaning for a long time. I remember that there was some concern that the runoff from the washing was putting toxic material in the bay - is there no other way to clean the tile periodically, like rubbing it with something, blowing the dirt into the roadway and then running street sweepers to pick up the dirt? If people can suit up to safely handle asbestos removal, seems like we could suit up workers to safely clean the tubes. They are a disgrace! Do you think they will ever again wash the darned things?
