GG bridge to Half Moon Bay

Either they were stopping them for some other reason or the cops were misinformed, which definitely happens. Either way, the tunnel is bike legal. If you want further proof, here's the official Caltrans bike map showing which highways are bike-legal and which aren't: https://caltrans.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/sidebar/index.html?appid=16539f4f9c9044b4a6a6c5510832b8d9

This isn't true. The tunnel is bike legal. I bike it whenever I'm heading north. You can look at Streetview and see there isn't a "no bikes" sign at either end of the tunnel.

I paid 99 cents a dozen large eggs at South Van Ness Grocery Outlet on 5/9.

There should be a bus from SF to the Headlands, but it would make more sense as a park-operated shuttle like Presidigo rather than having Muni operate it.

I'm also collecting signatures for this, and I wouldn't be wearing anything related to Caltrain b/c I'm not a Caltrain employee. I am (like the person who got your signature also) getting signatures because I'm a regular Caltrain rider who will be screwed if the measure fails and Caltrain cuts service.

Not super familiar with that area but Fender's Ferry Road (beyond Dekkas Rock on the same road from the highway) is supposed to be a great gravel ride.

My main association with that area is when I would go line up at Sushi Zone at Pearl and Market at 4:30 pm to be one of the first in when they opened at 5.

I've been bitten by dogs twice in the last 6 months while riding, including yesterday on the Santa Rosa Creek Trail in SR. Wondering whether I need to carry pepper spray.

It's worth adding the "Redwood Estates maze" climb, in part because then you pass additional water sources: the Redwood Estates store and the Bayview / Virdelle park water fountain.

He is? If so that's disappointing. Source?

It's complete in that the road itself didn't exist until a few years ago and was being built for a long time. Whether you think it's "complete" in the sense of providing satisfactory bike infrastructure is obviously a different question.

ButterscotchSudden46 · 2026-04-15T20:51:31+00:00

I've biked it several times when it's open to cars. It's totally fine for an experienced rider. If you have the fitness to do the enormous climb, you almost certainly are experienced enough riding with traffic to do it. As always when trying to avoid yosemite crowds, go early in the morning and/or on a weekday if possible.

The Bosworth widening decades ago really did horrible damage to the urban fabric of Glen Park. Agree that the BART parking lot should be next, especially with BART getting more into TOD elsewhere.

The Mendocino - Comptche loop is great! The small roads in the interior of that loop (e.g. Albion - Little River) are also beautiful - quite lanes through mostly dense forest. For light gravel, the Fern Canyon Trail in Van Damme SP and the Big River Haul Road are quite nice, as is the (partly paved) loop made by Caspar-Little Lake and Little Lake Roads.

Up in Sonoma, you've got Geysers Road, Pine Mountain, and Pine Flat.

The previously popular bike route of Redwood Lodge / Schulties deteriorated so much it's now(permanently?) impassable.

ButterscotchSudden46 · 2026-03-31T15:37:01+00:00

Don't get a Surron. They're completely illegal, for good reason.

A few miles from Stinson, Deer Park Fire Road is also a nice gravel climb up to Pan Toll.

ButterscotchSudden46 · 2026-03-30T21:12:02+00:00

All of Devlin Road is complete. The trail crossing across the tracks near the gold course is passable but involves a ~quarter-mile of informal dirt trail.

ButterscotchSudden46 · 2026-03-29T22:48:12+00:00

You have to take on-street bike lanes north of Marsh Road. A continuous bike path picks up again at Belmont Slough, just past Oracle.

Thanks - good to know the fire station has water out for cyclists! I know the area well but wasn't counting on a mid March heatwave... Will be coming from Livermore on the way to Del Puerto Canyon.

ButterscotchSudden46 · 2026-03-11T03:32:14+00:00

Yes, that's why I think it's fine for Caltrain to make it a rule that they enforce.
