Bicycling by the Bay


11 September 2010

This summer, when it hasn't been cold (most of the time), it has been hot. And this was one of those days.



Alison and Ingrid concocted a plan to keep cool by riding bayside, and I tagged along. They put together a picnic lunch. We meandered through Oakland, Emeryville, and Berkeley to the Bay Trail.



This neat yellow sculpture is outside the offices of one of Emeryville's biotech firms.



After crossing I-80 on the bicycle/pedestrian overpass, we headed north, going past Golden Gate Fields, the dog park, and Costco before reaching the Richmond marina. After lunch, we doubled back and saw these egrets in the tidal wetlands adjacent to the freeway.



And we did manage to keep cool.

What fun. Where was the geometric yellow-brown picture taken?
