I was driving to a soccer game this afternoon when I drove past an accident scene. Three teenage girls in a dirty, 70’s era Cadillac were being interviewed, the windshield was smashed in and 30 feet in front of the car was a mangled trek mountain bike. The car was straddling a crosswalk. The rider was no longer on the scene, and the police were marking the asphault with paint.
Very sad, and very angry. Hope the rider was able to walk away, but looking at the windshield and the state of the bike, I don’t think this was possible.
I try to stay off the Blvd as much as possible. I like riding San Miguel to Rudgear to Lavender to Livorna to Stone Valley to Green Valley to Diablo (Mt or Rd) to Blackhawk. From there you can go to Livermore via Tassajara or Norris Canyon to Bollinger or all the way to Castro Valley and Redwood Rd. Lots of options and much safer.
Too much traffic, too many shopping centers, too many traffic lights on Dublin/SRV Blvd.
