The trails in Larkspur and Corte Madera were easy to find, and drivers were mostly courteous. That made our ride superb. On the city roads, there are some signs saying "Watch for pedestrians and bicycles."
That is very different from Sonoma County, I thought. Local government can do many things.
There is one bike path that was blocked by a fence which doesn't show on the google map. Since the path was covered with overgrown weeds and ice plants, I didn't want to turn around. Luckily a most kind man outside the fence offered to help lift our bikes over the fence. So we were very lucky. There is an elementary school near there. We understood why the fence was closed. But it would have been nice if there were even a small sign saying 'no outlet'. That's why the guy sympathized with us trapped the same way as he was with his dog.
There were some older cyclists, father and his sons/daughters, older walkers and young joggers on the trails under the beautiful sunshine. We we enjoyed a very relaxing ride today.
For us how long we can enjoy riding is more important than how fast we can ride. Finally I found our goal recently.
We also tried riding on a street with a bike lane and also one with no bike lane, just share the road. We were fine on the street with a bike lane, but the share road was very nerve racking for us.
