Bay Bridge Group Ride – A Celebration and a Reminder

From SF.Streetsblog.org

The Western Span needs a bike path. This project needs to get done

Editor’s note: The Eastern Span of the Oakland Bay Bridge and its bike path from West Oakland to Yerba Buena opened a decade ago. But with bikes banned from the Western Span, cyclists sill don’t have a way to ride between San Francisco and the East Bay. Last weekend advocates did another ride to celebrate the existing half-way path and to highlight again the lack of a complete route. Here’s the story from Bike East Bay:

The gloomy, slightly cold and at times drizzly Saturday morning didn’t stop 100+ people on bikes from showing up to the West Oakland BART station to participate in the Celebrate Trails Day ride co-hosted between the Rails To Trails Conservancy, Sports Basement, BayWheels and Bike East Bay.
