Recent editorial in Pilot praised Va Bch’s efforts to build connecting bike lanes/ trails and said that it’s “foolhardy” to ride a bike over the Lesner Bridge. I laughed a little, thinking of how tame that section of road is compared to so many others around when considering road conditions, narrowing of roads, absence of radar, truck traffic, etc. My top 3 avoided sections of road in Norfolk: Tidewater Dr. between Little Creek south to downtown; Hampton Blvd between 38th St south to midtown tunnel; all of Military Hwy (aesthetics reasons mostly there).
I live in Norfolk and biking around here is really an extreme sport. However, I just visited The Outer Banks in NC and they have some cool bike paths. You can check their sites on my blog: www.fleckinspace.blogspot.com
