The Greenway with Mac on YouTube
@thegreenwaywithmac
A YouTube channel that shows some of the great greenways of the world, mixed with some city riding. Each video shows the whole route so that you can easily re-create it. Alameda & Redlands, CA. Valencia, Spain
I just soent 2 days at the @calbike.bsky.social summit with Trails of California and learned a ton. Time to get back to work. Check out my video from Marin County that I released this morning with @warrenjwells.bsky.social @activetowns.bsky.social
Today’s Pretti Good ride in San Franscisco. Days like today remind me why the SF area is gorgeous and is filled with beautiful, kind people.
SF Bay Area folks come out to Alameda on Tuesday for a ghoulishly good time. I’ll be leading a group around Alameda to see the Halloween decorations. Wear your costume and bring your friends and family.
Does this count? It’s near the Iron Horse Trail in Walnut Creek. Right by Walden Park.
TFW YouTube recommends a video and you’re in thumbnail with your kid.
I happened to be there today with the little man and saw the Boat Tram.
Tucson, AZ. 6 lane road, paint for protection, and a 40 mph sign. A conveniently short trip to the cemetery.
It wasn’t completely bad, as there were some bright spots. But overall this greenwashing was lipstick on a pig.
Pavilion Park in Irvine had orange bicycles all over its branding, but the street design looked like every other car-first neighborhood with wide roads, missing crosswalks, and an abundance of parking.
To borrow from Bill Maher: NEW RULE: If you’re going to use a bike in the branding of your new community then you have to actually build protected bike lanes and crosswalks.
Why fly when you can take the train. While not a short journey, the @amtrak.com Coast Starlight is undefeated. I’ll put the stretch between San Luis Obispo and Oxnard against any other in the world. Today had a sideways sunset.
Shoutout to this dude from the previous video. 🤣 I see you
Here is Bancroft and Dana on the campus border.
I’m working at UC Berkeley today so I had to swing by to see how the new protected bike lanes are working out. This is Dana St. at Durant Ave.
They have some good examples of this in Livermore. I noticed this a few weeks ago when exploring the Arroyo and Iron Horse trails.
Today we celebrated the new section of SMART path in San Rafael. SMART caught Lucas and I in the second picture. Unfortunately we were late and missed the group ride with @marinbike.org. The new path makes about 7 miles of trail from the Larkspur station & ferry terminal.
