2024-12-07 City Park Tour du Café

Took a different route to take lone participant Steve to a party in Oak Hills. Discovered a connector for pedestrians and bikes between the Oak Hills Parkway east and west sections. This is in the lollipop subdivision part of the parish where it is necessary to take main traffic filled roads.

Thank you John Forester inventing vehicular cycling skills. This was previously the mainstay of LAB training as I learned it in 2003, but for the uninitiated it can be intimidating to “take the lane” on a busy road. Fortunately Bluebonnet, Perkins, and Starring all have two lanes in each direction.
