PP, have you looked at the Google Maps bike route and/or talked to people who bike in the area? The routes I take for biking from Point A to Point B are rarely the same as the ones I take for driving - because I don't want to bike on extremely busy 6-lane roads. Frequently there are routes you can take that are longer but safer for biking. Not always, though, so sometimes I end up biking on the sidewalk, and some places I just can't get to by bike at all.

Meanwhile, you should lobby everyone you know who doesn't live in this area, to please ask their elected representatives to pass a covid-funding bill for public transit systems in the US. If we can bail out the airlines during covid, we can fund public transit during covid.[/quote]
