I am planning to go over new bay bridge over the next weekend. I wonder where would be the good start to start from SFO side to get on the Bay bridge's new bike lane. Thanks,

I was under the impression the bike lane was only on the new, Eastern span.

One of my friends angrily texted me from the bike path today to tell me that it isn't completed yet, stops about 100 feet short of Treasure Island, and won't be completed until 2015...

Once it is completed, you'll be able to take the 108 bus from Treasure Island into the city with your bike on the front.

Yeah. And even that's dumb when you can just take your bike into the city on BART instead. You'd think for $6B + they'd have it figured out.

What makes me sad is seeing old photos of the train tracks running across the lower deck.

The holdup is part of the old bridge is in the way and demo has to be completed for the new bike path to reach the island.

After that... it is really a question of funding to reach SF...
