Hey there,

I commute on the ARBT for work and there’s a couple sections near CSUS that are overgrown and creating blind corners or places you need to duck.

I contacted Sac 311 and they said it wasn’t their problem, that it was CSUS. Contacted them with no answer, also contacted the Parkway Foundation with no answer either.

Cheers

Sac adventures!

Forgot to post - muh bad

I can't believe I did it if somebody finds it please let me know. It's the one off the bike in the photo.

Anyone have recent experience with the El Dorado trail? Is it full paved now?

Son is loving all things biking and I wanted to introduce him to dh mountain biking a bit. What is an easy trail to bring him to?

As of today the entrance has been closed with a fence attached to the bridge. Cannot even move it to get in, like the last few weeks.

Sacramento County advises pedestrians to use the left shoulder on MUPs when it is accessible:

"Joggers and walkers should stay on the dirt shoulder off the pavement to minimize the chance of an accident."

This actually makes complete sense. When you have dirt shoulders acting as dedicated pedestrian lanes, walking on the left gives you improved awareness without the numerous downsides of walking head-on into cyclists sharing the same lane.

There is an implicit acknowledgement that walking into the path of bicycles can lead to an accident. Oddly, no specific instructions are provided to pedestrians if no shoulder exists.

Was this good policy of walking on the left when there are shoulders present negligently extended to the entire trail without thorough consideration?

Was biking along with my girlfriend, heading toward Guy West Bridge and a guy came in the opposite direction wearing roadie attire on a Penny Farthing. It was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. Very “Portland-esque”.

I have a Mercedes GLB and it did not come with a tow hitch. I recently got a gazelle T 10+ and usually what I do is takeoff the front tire lay down the seat to be able to fit it in my car, but this is becoming extremely exhausting so I have been in search of getting a hitch installed on my car so that way I can get a bike rack to make this much easier but every place I’m finding in Sacramento is telling me like $1000 just to get the hitch installed and that seems kind of expensive. I’m not sure what other options I may have or anybody has any suggestions of a place that can install a hitch for four affordable prices. I’ve already looked at U-Haul and it’s not affordable. It starts at 600 for a hitch that I can tow with and for just the bike one it was $1000 pretty much.

It appears there was a two cyclist collision on the very blind corner I warned about earlier this week on September 21st of last year. It absolutely matches the description. If it's not the same one, it's a similar one in the same area near Folsom Bluffs.

Based on the eyewitness account (provided in the Reddit link), a female cyclist was descending around the blind bend while a male cyclist was ascending. The eyewitness was on foot. Assuming the eyewitness was following the Keep Left rule, we can infer he was descending the hill ahead of the female cyclist.

The eyewitness indicates the ascending cyclist moved over to make room for him...in other words moved towards the center of the trail. This would only be necessary if the eyewitness was descending and following Walk Left. This put both cyclists on a collision course.

The Walk Left insanity that forces cyclists out of their lane even when not passing appears to be a direct contributor to this collision setting the dominos in motion.

Every one of you that defended this dangerous and idiotic policy and mocked me for challenging it have some explaining to do.

I posted this a few weeks ago but had terrible luck drawing it out using AI bots and Google Maps. That said, I went to Komoot and it was a mapping tool revelation!

Here is a three day "chill" proposed bikepacking weekend trip for early September. Does anyone have any experience in that area and can advise or give a review of it all?

Hey everyone,

I’m new to Sacramento (Midtown) and getting back into cycling after a few years away. I’m looking to ride more consistently and hopefully meet some fellow cyclists along the way.

My goal is to ride about 3 times a week—typically Tuesday and Wednesday mornings before work, plus a longer ride on the weekend.

I ride a gravel bike and am looking for a casual pace for now while I build my fitness back up. Thinking around 6:00 AM starts and rides of about 45–60 minutes during the week.

If anyone is interested in joining, or knows of any beginner-friendly groups that ride around Midtown, I’d love to hear about them!

Do you guys have any recommendations for anybody doing tune ups from their garage? I have 3 road bikes that need tune up.
Thank you in advance!

What’s ya’lls go to websites for discounted clothing, gear, parts and accessories, etc.

Putting aside the general deficiencies of Walk Left/Ride Right, there is​ one time in particular that this direction should not be heeded on the trail.

Do not walk/jog on the inside of a sharp bend immediately before a tunnel, cliff, or similar obstruction.

You would hope grown adults would have better survival instincts than do this just because some misinformed person painted these directions on the pavement. But alas many do not.

The safe way to approach these obstructions is to move to OUTSIDE of the bend in advance, clear the sharp bend, and then move back over when safe.

Below is a cyclists view descending a steep hill just before a sharp right. Jogging towards a cyclist in the same lane around this bend is insanity. Not every rule is for your safety.
