Wolfe has protected lanes all through, I used to bike on that. Same with Fremont/Sunnyvale-Saratoga, etc.

When I rode a bike to work because I had to bike 500m on El Camino, which is 500m more than what I want to on that road. The alternate was quite longer.

Edit: first para incorrect, I had "protected bike lanes" and "dedicated bike lanes" confused.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I bike across Wolfe on Evelyn all the time and have seen no protected bike lanes on it. I just checked Street View on a handful of different parts of Wolfe and I see zero protected bike lanes, and it says the data is from this year. You're talking about Wolfe Rd that crosses Caltrain and goes next to Vallco right?

> Same with Fremont/Sunnyvale-Saratoga, etc.

Checked these on Street View since I don't drive on them that often, same deal, zero protected bike lanes. Unless they've done some very recent construction, I think you may be confused about what protected bike lanes are: http://www.peopleforbikes.org/green-lane-project/pages/prote...

Very sorry, I had "protected bike lanes" and "dedicated bike lanes" confused. Thanks!

No problem, protected bike lanes are a relatively recent innovation in the states, and up until recently they usually went by the term "cycle tracks", but turns out that "protected bike lane" is a much easier-to-understand name.
