ANNOUNCEMENT - October 2002 B.A.D. Meeting in Walnut Creek

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Tony Godshall (togo@of.net):

Neither one is great.  If you bicycle from Fremont BART (Centerville
District), you have to bike about ten-twelve miles further south,
through Irvington District, Warm Springs District, and Milpitas,
to cross the bottom of the Bay, which you'd so either via a connecting
series of bicycle/pedestrian paths adjoining CA-237, or by going further
south still and using Tasman.  

If you cross the Dumbarton Bridge instead, you first have to run the
East Palo Alto gauntlet (not too bad, these days), then somehow parallel 
US-101 for a half-dozen or more miles to Mountain View.  There aren't
any really good bicycle routes through that stretch.  I've looked.

Some of these may help:  http://www.transitinfo.org/Bikes/bikemap.html
