Mission Bay Bike Path

Sadly way too many homeless or people living in derelict campers.

April, 2026 by devaney.julie

San Diego has really lost its beautiful appeal now that it is allowing people to camp anywhere.

Victoria Avenue Bike Path

Unfortunately the city does a terrible job keeping the bike paths clear and safe. Some areas are not even passable.

San Luis Rey River Trail

Elevated route

June, 2025 by shawnabrowne

For me, who is afraid of heights, this was a bit difficult. It is slightly elevated and no railings. The surface is smooth, nice, easy to ride bike on. Going north-south, turn right at the neighborhood. Rode this Sunday lunchtime. Fair amount of runners, cyclists, and pedestrians. Everyone was considerate to each other.
