Six miles of it is on the Guadalupe River Trail, a fully separated bike path with a river, trees and other vegetation, wildlife and the occasional jogger and cyclist. I hop onto Santa Clara Street if I need to wake up after six miles of peaceful bliss.

To support the San Jose Bike Share that should open on July 1, 2012, the San Jose city council voted unanimously for a number of bike facility improvements for the downtown area in their regular session on Tuesday afternoon.
