Urban Adventure

Drew, Mari and I went for a bike ride this weekend. We normally are mountain bikers - we stay off the streets and wander the woods. But this time we decided to try something new. We rode from our neighborhood to downtown. There is supposed to be a bike route... After experiencing this so called "bike route", I would call it more like "taking your life in your hands to get to downtown route"! We were on and off busy city streets, crossing in front of freeway entrances (2x), going down bike paths covered with graffitti and broken glass, dodging homeless people....

I am glad we did it because it was interesting to see the route to downtown in slow motion (vs going 70 mph in a car) but we won't be doing it again.
