This is a POV biking tour of Emeryville, California. It starts at the Horton Landing Park, near the foot of the South Bayfront Bridge. This ride is primarily in the street and in bike lanes, so it is not recommended for beginning riders.
Future videos will return to Valencia, Spain and cover some new cities, such as Seattle, Portland, and Santa Barbara, CA.
BONUS INFORMATION FROM ROBERT PRINZ AT BIKE EAST BAY
A short new cycletrack from the South Bayfront Bridge to Shellmound as part of a grocery store development is being added, to be completed probably within a year
That tricky/wiggly segment from the Christie cycletrack past the freeway to Frontage Road is getting some updates to improve safety and access within a few years
A two way cycletrack on the south side of Powell from Frontage to the marina is also in the works, but no specific timeline yet
Not trail related, but the area to the south of Powell used to be known as the Emeryville mudflats where up until the 90s (when it was designated a bird sanctuary) artists created and installed driftwood sculptures. The mudflats art was featured in the film Harold and Maude from 1971.
SPECIAL THANKS
