Once one bikes down into Mission Valley, the options for getting back up to the Uptown or Mid City areas are slim, and require riding further east or west, depending on what kind of grade you want to climb on the way back. After leaving Costco, I decided to get over the SR 15 Bike Path. Here's the ride on Friars Rd, which is an essential road for anyone going through Mission Valley, no matter how they're moving (driving, riding, walking, or trolley).
In fairness, this would have been much easier without the SDSU West construction happening, but that project won't be done for a while, and people still need to be able to get around how it happens.
0:00 Turn onto Friars at Northside
0:14 Construction signs in the bike lane
0:48 Sign that the bike lane is open
1:53 Riding under Mission Valley Dr
3:13 Crossing over the 15, ramps and all
5:03 Bike lane dissolves for turning lane
6:31 Passed by big loud dump truck (Not too close, or maliciously, but scary without protection)
7:28 Bike lane dissolves for turning lane
Thanks for watching, and please remember to support your local bike safety and mobility advocacy organizations, like BikeSD ([ Ссылка ]) and Circulate San Diego ([ Ссылка ])
