We're riding from about 29th and E over to Park Blvd, and have to bob and weave to stay on the safest path. Along the way, we don't have any conflicts with drivers, but it's noticeable that there's a FedEx truck in the bike lane, as well as an MTS contractor.
The gap in the bike lane at Pershing and the 5 is what really gets me. A driver hit a pedestrian there not too long ago, and that's because the infrastructure allows it.
Thanks for watching.
These videos can be scary, but please know that my goal isn't to deter people from riding bikes in San Diego, but to show the real-world conditions. Sometimes it's pleasant, sometimes it's just fine, and other times there's tension and conflict.
The roads in San Diego should be safe and accessible to everyone without the use of a car. My hope is that these videos help those in power make better decisions for all our safety. I also believe that the more people who decide to ride, the safer the roads will become.
Please remember to support your local bike safety and mobility advocacy organizations, like BikeSD (bikesd.org/), the San Diego County Bike Coalition (sdbikecoalition.org/) and Circulate San Diego (www.circulatesd.org/)
