New Path Over Freeway

Sometimes city planners get it right. While widening the bridge over the 101 in Thousand Oaks (my neighborhood) a path was added to provide a save ride on the Lindero Canyon overpass. Lindero is a busy street and it was a nightmare to ride the short section that crossed over the freeway and eventually dumped into Costco. I would avoid it whenever possible. Even if it meant taking a detour that added a few miles.

The wannabe, properly dressed, roadies still ride the busy and fast road by taking the lane for about a half a mile. I'm more then happy to be a weenie and ride the path. It's better to be a live weenie then lycra clad road kill.
