Bikes: It's complicated.

A road called Skyline

Seems like anywhere there's some hills, there's a road called Skyline. It's a ridge road, great views on either side, and good for bike riding. You're best off to do it early on weekends before the Sunday car drivers come out. When I lived in the Bay Area, there were at least two of them. The one on the Peninsula ends up being on just about any longer bike rides. In the East Bay, any ride up and over the hills will usually involve it.

I moved to Portland 6 years ago and quickly found that there's a very similar road here. There's usually a bit of climbing to get on it, then it's rolling along the spine, just like back in Cali.

I've seen others describe rides up a Skyline in other parts of the country, and wonder how many of them there are. I'll start up a list on this post and update as others add theirs.

1. Skyline Blvd, East Bay above Oakland California
