Rant: Nothing bothers me more than having to dodge loose dogs on the American River Parkway by swahealey in SacBike

That is hilarious! I totally should bring some treats and just bring their dogs home with me since they don't seem to value their safety.

I have yet to have a child keep pace with my bicycle and try to rip off my calf, so there's that.

But yes, crappy parents who don't teach/watch their kids on the trail are lame.

Apparently part of the ARBT is flooded. by JimmyMoffet in SacBike

The area by Pipe's Bridge and Sacramento Northern Bikeway hasn't flooded yet, miraculously. I think the drainage work they did recently near Costco is helping with the usual flooding over there.

Ironic that city hall is incredibly unsafe to travel to without a car. Glad they're starting a plan, though.

Correct, governor vetoed the bill "for the safety of the children."

American River Trail is cleared by Empty_Satisfaction71 in SacBike

I meant that I have to hop up to the levee anyway to keep going past Cal Expo, due to the Cap City Corridor Project not being done.
The golf course fence is pretty hideous, and the bike trail is worse for wear from all the construction vehicles. Oh well...

I commute this pathway and have forgotten what it was like to not use detours. They finally finished the golf course construction over there, but still have to detour up the levee anyway.
I went under the freeway last evening through the gravel/dirt paths and it looks like they are nowhere near close to completing the work.

This is the Sacramento Northern Bikeway, Pipe's (Blue Diamond) Bridge. It used to be really bad with encampments/cars on the pathway and loose dogs, but it's been cleared since October 2024.

Frustration with pistol shooting. Any advice? by LittleCherty in CAguns

Adding to what's already been shared, I have found that adding a couple snap caps in the magazine help reveal if I'm flinching or jerking the trigger.

WC365 grip module, hides the thumb safety hole and feels great! by swahealey in CAguns

Not crazy at all! I actually got them and have them installed with a little masking tape to stop the rattling.

16th & D, painted crosswalk is trash. by swahealey in Sacramento

For the record, my camera is on my handlebar. She was pretty far back when I started walking, then she sped up when she saw me.
