Highway-Biking

Don’t know the story here, but that’s a great shot – riding right down the highway.

Not quite as cool as riding on an active highway, here in Pennsylvania near Breezewood there is an 11 mile section of the turnpike that was abandoned in 1968 and is now a dedicated bike trail.

Excellent and we can only hope that the Viaduct replacement here in Seattle has one massive bike/pedestrian lane. In the Tri-Cities, WA there’s a long, climbing stretch of road that was once the highway—it’s a frontage road now, not abandoned, but when I used to ride on it years ago, I don’t think I ever saw a car.

damn, I can’t believe y’all don’t know about Crimanimal Mass.  They’ve been riding on the busiest freeways in Los Angeles once a month for a while now and they roll in a BIG pack including tall bikes.  It’s their little way of telling the traffic jammed drivers “If you rode a bike, you’d be home by now” as they whiz past them, weaving in and out of the lanes.  It’s been on the local news and in papers a few times now and the highway patrol can’t figure out what to do about them because they ambush a different section of freeway(s) at a different time and date whenever they do it… and they’re moving faster than the cars which makes them pretty hard to catch.  They have videos posted all over the web on youtube and such.
