Plan a route with a beer in mind with this list of breweries that are located near a greenway trail. Maps showing connectors to the appropriate trails are in the individual brewery pages. Most of these breweries have outdoor seating, so you can keep an eye on your bike while being discreet in funny pants and clunky shoes.
Bakeries make great rest stops. Most of these are close to a trail and feature at least some kind of outdoor perch.
Trashfish ‘beached’ near the Wetlands Center on the Walnut Creek Trail, and stayed through most of 2020. Trail Art is a listing of formal and informal installations on the greenways that you might have noticed – or want to visit.
Interesting bridges, tunnels, and underpasses scattered around the system.
Some interesting places on the trails are hidden or unmarked. Plan a rest or a pause.
