»A different city
To kick off the merry merry month of May, New York hosts the annual Five Boro Bike Tour. I do'n't have my act together for this year, but riding over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge sounds glorious. The faithful will attend the Blessing of the Bikes tomorrow morning at St John the Divine (and perhaps go down the block for some wings and a pint afterwards).
What would it take to organise a Four Bridges bicycle ride in the Bay Area? The
Al Zampa bridge already has a bike lane; a token bicycle path is in place on the Dumbarton Bridge; the new Bay Bridge (a "bridge of superlatives") will feature a bicycle lane, at least half-way (!!); all that remains is to close the Golden Gate so that cycles can pour across it.
CMWC is on -- on th' other side of the Hudson, that is (nicely pinched and ps'd map!).
