Oh yea! I saw those lines all the way up Lovejoy/Cornell this morning. When
David mentioned that "cross between vinegar and gasoline" I knew that it was
antifreeze/deicer. I use to work at the UPS air hub in Newark, NJ and they
would spray that crap all over the wings of the aircraft and also all over
the ramp where we walked. One morning I got 'misted' by the guys spraying
down a 767 and BOY did that stuff stink. It just so happens that I HATE the
smell of vinegar so my once nice Danish army jacket stunk for a month!
My story,
K

My guess is that is "magnesium chloride with corrosion inhibitors"
referenced in this story:

I agree that it is very slick for bikes. I had trouble getting traction
going UP Germantown Road in several spots today. In my opinion it is way
over used.

What's with the smelly sprayed-on lines of "anti-freeze" on some of
Portland's roads? Today, cycling on Skyline, I got kind of nauseous
breathing deeply mile after mile this cross between vinegar and gasoline
smell. I'm also wondering how good it really is for tires gripping on the
road, as last year on a steep descent out by Bull Run, the road was wet and
also looked to have an overdose of this stuff; it was really slippery, and
we're not talking ice. I wonder what the manufacturers cautionary statement
reads like..."use in well-ventilated area, don't spray on plants?"
