Sky Lane trail plan in San Jose (Silicon Valley)

[Allroad Commuter]

The city of San Jose is planning this as part of the "three creeks trail" to connect the existing trails...

Take away from the city of San Jose's 10-year report: "Build trails and they will come".

The city of San Jose is still in the midst of building out their trail network but there's still plenty of miles(57+) to explore right now if you have a chance to visit...

My wife and I rode the "Guadalupe River Trail" three weekends ago. It travels through a few homeless camps that might make people uncomfortable. Also there was at least one point where we had to go onto a street to find the next section of the trail.

The San Francisco Bay Area should have the best bike system in the world, perhaps Google, Apple, Facebook and the like should move a little more money to bike paths instead of busses to shuttle their employees from home to work.

Also would recommend the Los Gatos Creek and Los Alamitos Creek trails.

We're heading down to San Diego in a few weeks. Any "can't miss" trail recommendations?

That's a cool rail. Love the bridge.

I rode my pedal powered bike all ove San Jose back in the 60's and didn't see any bike trails.

I have been using most of these trails and agree some of the sections have been a regular place for homeless folks which might make other cyclists feel uncomfortable. However, there have been some efforts to help these folks to move to "tiny homes" and shelters. In addition, I am glad to see more bike lanes are created around the city streets. The current mayor is a cyclist and might have great influence on these matters.
