@orko I have a battery charger for that exact use case if you want to borrow it. I no longer have the car that necessitated it, of course...
@orko I mean, the 280 thing definitely predates the bike path by the reservoir, and at that point the long detour almost certainly was worse...
Definitely not the thing to spend effort on advocating for, though.
Foothill is also an interesting case due to the wide shoulder, lack of parking/driveways, infrequent intersections, and unusually high density of cyclists. I still avoid it though.
