Bake to 405 NB entrance: Mile 19.9
• If you are already controlling the #3 lane, motorists heading for the freeway will pass on the right in #4 RTOL. Those going straight can merge and pass you in the #1 or #2 lanes on your left.
• If you ride in the bike lane, it ends at the second double entrance so you will have speeding motorist passing and entering the freeway across you from the #3 combo lane and the #4 RTOL, You may not be unable to merge over to control the #3 lane at that point when the bike lane ends. If you are stuck in the bike lane, just stay right and use the shoulder or sidewalk along the entrance, all the way to the crosswalk.
• Watch out at the crosswalk. If one lane stops for you the second lane may not.
Controlling the #3 combo lane really is safest.

The truth about biking will set you free.

The biggest paradox in cycling is that many “common sense” things cyclists do to be safe actually makes them less safe! This is because we don’t understand how most crashes happen. In CyclingSavvy, we show you how those crashes happen, and how to maximize your safety with a handful of smart strategies that virtually eliminate those conflicts.

City Community Meeting on South Yale

Unless you scrub NextDoor for posts you might have missed this one… on the eve of “Bike Month”
the City of Irvine will hold a meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 30, at University Community Center to provide an update on the South Yale Corridor Improvements project and seek community feedback. The project aims to reconfigure the roadway to accommodate Class IV separated bikeways on Yale Avenue between the I-405 Freeway and University Drive. It will enhance safety and connectivity for people who walk, bike, drive, and take transit, and improve connections among City of Irvine bike trails. Learn more about the project and other transportation studies and plans at bit.ly/3OJdceZ.

Final design will be complete this spring, with construction expected to begin this year, subject to funding availability. 
When first proposed for Yale, back in 2023 we spoke up but are ignored & outnumbered,,,
and since actually built along Cadence, BCI members have been a minority call against converting bike lanes into cycle tracks, See PaceLines article for more…
