We're riding east on Friars Rd by Riverwalk, which used to be a golf course, but is being developed into a neighborhood.
It's a protected bike lane, with an on-street painted lane outside the protection. I'll let you be the judge, but the protected area feels a little too narrow to me (much like the old one that was here before). It seems like a series of missed opportunities for improvement, but it's better than nothing.
Here's the story the clip is pulled from with more details: www.sandiegoun...
It looks like Friars Rd is actually the border of D3 and D7, so putting it on both play lists.
Thanks for watching.
These videos can be scary, and I don't mean 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. 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 (sdbikecoalitio...) and Circulate San Diego (www.circulates...)
