September 28, 20116 Comments on Bike vs trolley
(…and no, I’m not talking about a collision!)
I sometimes catch the 1st Street trolley to whisk me from downtown San Jose to River Oaks Station, which in turn is a little over a mile from the office. The trolley normally travels at something like 40 MPH down 1st street north of Japantown, but it makes frequent stops that drops the average speed to maybe 25 MPH. I think taking the light rail is a little bit fast than biking, but I’ve never actually compared the times.
This morning, I just happened to turn onto 1st on my bike just as the trolley left the station, so I race the train to see which is faster.
