Note: This map shows streets with bike lanes and with marked bike routes, as well as where routes and lanes are planned. Many of the streets marked as planned bike routes or bike lanes are already suitable for bicyclists. And many other streets not highlighted on this map are also suitable for bicycling - and commonly used by bicyclists. We'll have an enhanced map up later this year, showing many of those streets as well.
Meanwhile, here are just a few of the other streets commonly used by bicyclists:
Olive Drive
Roberts Lane
Main Plaza Drive
Granite Falls Drive
Belle Terrace
Real Road
North Chester Avenue
Riverlakes Drive
Alfred Harrell Highway
District Boulevard
Pacheco Road (most sections)
Verdugo Lane (most sections)
Meacham Road
E-mail us if you know of other streets that you commonly use when bicycling. We'll use the data as we build our new map!
NOTE: Just because a street is marked as a bike route,
with a bike lane, or known to be used by bicyclists, does not mean the
city, county or South Vall;ey Bicycle Coalition is making any guarantee
as to your safety on that street. Your safety will depend on many factors,
including your behavior and on the behavior of other road users. All bicyclists
ride at their own risk, so choose your route carefully and ride responsibily,
obeying all traffic laws, signs and signals, and using good bicycling
skills.
