If you want to get out of Bethesda on bike, the bicycle path is the obvious choice. Unfortunately, you need to pass six gates in order to get out of the village. I already complained about that when I first described my new commute! And, of course, it works the same way in the other direction. These gate are not popular with the local cycling community.
Then the bicycle path closed for months, with an unclear reason. Well, the reason has become clear now! It is exactly to get rid of the six gates! These were always meant to regulate the movement of cattle. But now, the cattle get their own tunnel. And the council says all six gates can go when the tunnel is ready.
Work is making clear progress. When I found out what was actually going on, I was really glad! First they got rid of the tree-root-created speed bumps, and now they are getting rid of the gates! Is this turning into a bike-friendly country? I, for one, think this is fab!
