True, but if you control for speed and aggressivenessassertiveness, you might find that they are no less vulnerable than the people riding beach bikes at 10 mi/h. -- Mark

The number of club and race team members with decades of experience, exceptional bike handling skills, and responsibility who have been hit by cars should be enough to show that responsibility alone

Two words. “ horrible project”. This is our tax money wasted for little to no gain or even making things worse. Did it really help riders feeling safe? Apparently not. This road design is

All, It looks like the air quality will be in the moderate range tomorrow, so the FriYay! Das Brew ride is on. Let’s meet at 5:45 for a 6pm ride time. We will do the route listed in the calendar

Whenever people complain that bike infrastructure isn’t safe, we are told that this infrastructure isn’t for *us* the savvy cyclists. It’s for beginners who want to feel safe. I submit that

Is there a way to fix Walnut so that it works for all cyclists? Without changing the new sidepath, I can think of two (cheap paint) fixes: * Add sharrows to the #2 lane * Convert the #2 lane into a

Ken et al., For the many reasons alluded to by others in this thread, I never ride on Walnut, and will never ride on Walnut, even though I live at the corner of Walnut and Civic Center Drive.

Ken, presumably you take Stevenson or Mowry instead. My point is that there are people that wouldn't take those alternate routes. Not only would they prefer the Walnut bike path, they would not, or be

My solution is the best yet! I now completely avoid riding on Walnut. Mission accomplished… Ken

Your sister sounds like the ideal customer for the new bikeways. Rather than treating bike-ped mixing as a problem on the side paths, we should expect it and design for it. Adding more rules, and

Good points. Of course, it’s dangerous for cars to cruise through those right-turn lanes at 15-20 MPH. We could cause our own problems flying through the new lanes at 10-15 MPH. And yes, I will

Michael, you make great points. My 13-year-old sister just started riding bikes and will be riding to high school in a few weeks. Our route is from Mission/Walnut all the way down Walnut to Fremont

The new side paths and intersections are designed for slower cycling, 10-12 mph max. If I rIde them at that speed, I can generally avoid right-hook and drive-out collisions with motorists, and

I was really surprised when Fremont made these changes. As already stated, you are not required to take the path up onto the islands. You still have the right to remain on the road like

Three more near misses that I have seen (one being me, even with a bright rear light and front light with side flashers). I have also seen one with a car leaving that apartment complex and pulling up

You should send this to Hans Larsen at Fremont’s DPW. Hans is very good with bike issues but he’s not perfect. I was just commenting last night that I don’t like how bikes go up on the sidewalk

Yeah someone here before claimed walnut ave project was result of extensive research. I hope she reads your email.

All, Please be careful when crossing Walnut after going up the green bike path on the sidewalk. On three occasions now I have almost seen bike riders get hit when they have the green light and they

Hello, I sent an email to everyone that I remembered from FFBC that signed up to participate in the Fuzz. Please let me know If I forgot to include you. Lori

Good Afternoon, Someone was unable to access the ridewithgps route so I recreated the link (it looks exactly the same) and updated the calendar. It has been verified by two. Sorry! This is the
