See the footage!
Typically, the West sidewalk is dedicated to cyclists while Pedestrians and tourists of the city are only allowed access on the East sidewalk. But for this particular trip and due to Seismic Retrofit Construction, the West sidewalk of the bridge is closed to bikers (through September, 2011) proving once and for all (for cyclists anyway) that the west side is the best side ... unselfishly and considerately, I pedaled, navigating elbow-to-elbow amongst walking natives and other visitors to the fair city. The end of September can’t come soon enough, I’m afraid.
Incidentally, Friday, May 27, 2011, marks the auspicious opening and 74th anniversary / birthday of this suspended, twin-towered ‘Wonder of the World’. Many happy returns, GG - - may you continue to wear your coat of International Orange proudly - - as you are continuously over-passed by millions of autos and foot traffic and under-passed by scores upon scores, of boats with or without oars, as they travel via the mighty, restless strait under your gorgeous golden gate!
