My cycling training route has been under construction for 6 months or so. It seems that they have finalized the new bike path... The new paved path was nice and smooth and I was really enjoying it until I hit the freeway and was almost blown over by the cars cruising along beside me at 80 miles an hour 15 feet away.
Is it just me or does this seem dangerous?
We had a horrible accident on our local bikepath in which an SUV driver lost control on a freeway and drove up a 15-foot steep embankment, through a chain-link fence and struck two cyclists, killing one and badly injuring the other. You don't even have an embankment....
ReplyDeleteCars scare the crap out of me when I my on my bike!!! I do like your own bike lane, but it does seem a bit too close to the freeway - yikes!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long before one of them comes hurdling off the freeway? Oh. It's the 91. Traffic rarely moves faster than 10mph anyways....
ReplyDeleteUgh, riding next to the road is not much fun!
