Mountain View has pretty good bike routes around town, but bicycling to neighboring towns (Palo Alto, Los Altos, Sunnyvale) is unnecessarily difficult. The city needs to coordinate with our neighbors to make bicycle routes continuous between towns. For example, Los Altos has nice bike lanes on San Antonio Road, but why do those end at El Camino Real, leaving bicyclists in limbo?

Mountain View's road shoulders remarked as bike paths are unsafe. Nantucket's extensive bike paths are separate from roads. Is it impossible for us in Mountain View to create safer bike paths?

Cycling keeps gaining in popularity? I'll buy that! I'm doing more biking and 4 of my friends have taken it up just this year. We commute by bike at least one day per week. We probably wouldn't if MV wasn't a decent place to ride. Thanks MV!

Let's not cut out traffic lanes on busy streets, instead how about making one sidewalk for bikes and the other sidewalk on the other side of the street for people to walk. Also I would like to see the Hetch Hetchy water right away make into a trail for the entire way at least in Mountain View

When cars pull out of driveways or intersecting streets, they generally
look into the flow of traffic affecting the turn they want to make. Ever have a wrong way cyclist surprise the heck out of you? That's what would happen all the time if there were two directional sidewalks. Putting people into situations that have them traveling in two directions on the same side of the street would only make the lawyers happy. Maybe the pay by the injury doctors too.
