I hope the coast-to-coast trail gets build soon. I would love to ride my bike across the country, but from several books I’ve read on people doing it on roads it seems quite dangerous right now, with most of the rides reporting one or more scary car/truck encounters and many of them getting injured in those encounters.
A dedicated bike trail coast-to-coast will be wonderful
Until that happens I’ll plan my long bike ride in Europe
I always see people biking on roads in the middle of nowhere during long car trips and I think they must be so brave. I am in awe of you! Stay safe out there. I know so many drivers are on their phones and not paying attention. We really do need the the trail to do that. It is the dream, but I guess Europe until then...
I was in Atlanta earlier this month and was recommended to go to Yeppa. I couldn't make it to the Buckhead location, so I put in my coordinates for the Beltline, and I was surprised and so happy seeing infrastructure designed with peds/bikes in mind. Even the closest intersection was a raised crosswalk!
It was so lively for a random Wednesday night. Lots of people going to the restaurants and just as many people walking the path or going for a bike/run. Definitely something I hope to copy more of in Madison!

Great to hear! Raised sidewalks are so rare here in the US. When I see them, I always stop in my tracks to admire ha.
I haven't been to Atlanta in like 25 years so I wasn't even too aware of this before I watched the doc. Definitely would like to see it now!
