Do people bike the bay bridge? That’s a long ride!
In my city local officials are pretty supportive of bike lanes, so most major projects on higher speed roads have them. I think the next step is trying to exclude car infrastructure from the city center completely, but that will be a tough fight.
Well, no, because there’s currently no way to do so. It’s a highway. But people ride a lot on both sides of the bridge, so it’s a logical connection.
My bike club did a ride across Maryland last fall, and the Bay Bridge was one of two gaps we could not ride - from the border with West Virginia, to Ocean City. (The other gap was crossing Route 50 near Queenstown, MD - there’s just no safe way to cross the highway there. We got back in the car and got a lift for that.)
