No shuttle needed if on bike. But be careful riding down the hill to Yerba Buena. There are some deep holes for storm drain grates that could send you over the bars. As to finding the path, if you're at MacArthur BART, just head towards the bay on 40th street and you'll see signs when you

Re: [RBW] Re: 1st Bombadil on Treasure Island

If you get off bart at the west oakland station, you can then ride the "bay trail" around over to the bridge. That portion of the "bay trail" is interesting, some might say sketchy. But Middle Harbor Shoreline Park is kinda interesting to check out as well. Take a look at the bottom portion of

I like the way it is starting to go crusty. You can't buy that kind of finish - it is special and has to be earned. In the classic car and motorbike world people seem to be over highly restored, immaculately presented examples and originality and patina (in Riv circles you might call it

nice! love the black and white pictures of the bridge as well. itching to go out now that it's open, never been to treasure island. Is it true that you need to take a shuttle where the bridge meets yerba buena island? that you can't cycle from the bridge to treasure island? On Sunday, October

You will also see some evidence of Bombadil needing a refinish. It will be out of commission for a bit while I get the rust removed and have it clear coated anew. On Sunday, October 23, 2016 at 7:20:13 PM UTC-7, Jim M. wrote: > > The new eastern span of the San Francisco Bay Bridge opened 3
