Afternoon Run

Rainy Park Road

Stay away from the Twisty Bridge! 🛑  First time across, I got run into by a guy on a cruiser bike - fortunately just more of a body slam and no fall.  Second time, I got halfway before noticing that a police officer was writing up another cyclist on the other side - presumably for not walking his bike.  I turned around and got out of there.  Don't the police have other things to do than ticketing UCSC students as they ride home from class?  These cyclists are doing the Westside a big favor by riding instead of contributing to the fuster-cluck at Mission/High/King.  I do understand that the bridge is multi-use and safety should be considered (clearly I am aware of the risks of riding here as I got hit the first time), but as cyclist wearing cleats, there is no way you would ever see me attempt to walk across that bridge (I might be more likely to get hurt doing that. 😂) and these situations make me consider taking alternative routes in the future to avoid this spot.  It's too bad it has to be in such a prime location for cycling commuters.
Okay... thanks for reading my rant. 😏 What do you think?
