Yes, "most brave" probably includes anyone subscribed to the bikies e-mail list. I refer to the much larger general population who take to the sidewalk on that bridge (including several co-workers I've talked to) and find the traffic frightening. I now also take the sidewalk on the Rimrock bridge due to narrow close call with a dump truck too close for comfort. But I prefer the pedestrian overpass to avoid the beltline on ramps and rush hour traffic on Rimrock. It isn't a safe place to be at rush hour. Automobiles drivers are not looking for peds and bikes at busy freeway interchanges as they accelerate and decelerate from 60+ mph. Thanks.

I traverse the Rimrock bridge daily as do many others I see. It's far from ideal but neither is it a wreck. -- Maybe I should just take the compliment as being among the "most brave" and move on.

[snip] Rimrock do have bicycle lanes, but traffic is notoriously awful and only the most brave occupy the debris-strewn bike lanes on that bridge. [snip]
