If you happen to be in El Cerrito, California you may run into the fascinating San Francisco Bay Trail. It’s remarkable for two reasons. One is that is it no where near the Bay. And two, it’s a sidewalk not a trail. This is the city that brought you the dog walk track consisting of broken glass.
The trail leads from the El Cerrito Plaza (mall) to San Pablo Avenue via sidewalk between a bank and a chain restaurant. Don’t forget to bring a canteen of water on this nature hike.

Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!

Well, I saw the broken glass dog track . . . but this seems to be the poor placement of a sign; or at least, a sign without proper directional indicators. The San Francisco Bay Trail is actually about a mile west of where this sign is, and it does run along the Bay.
http://baytrail.abag.ca.gov/overview.html “The Bay Trail is a planned recreational corridor that, when complete, will encircle San Francisco and San Pablo Bays with a continuous 400-mile network of bicycling and hiking trails. It will connect the shoreline of all nine Bay Area counties, link 47 cities, and cross the major toll bridges in the region. To date, approximately 240 miles of the alignment—over half the Bay Trail’s ultimate length—have been completed.”
it’s where the bay WILL BE…after the Hayward Fault does it’s mega quake.
….and think of all the money they probably spent dreaming this up and buying/installing signs.
Dear Mr. Dvorak–
Sorry for posting this as a comment to this story, but I couldn’t see a way to mail the site itself.
At my company, Freightliner LLC, Websense is still blocking your blog as a “sex site”– it still hasn’t become unblocked, despite what they’ve told you and what I heard you say on This Week in Tech. I don’t know if this is because my company hasn’t gotten updated database info from Websense correcting their mistake–I honestly don’t know how WebSense works.
Greatly enjoy your comments on that podcast, by the way.
Thought you’d like to know.

The Bay Trail is real, and it’s spectacular.
It’s that-a-way, according to the arrow. Right behind Costco.
I ride my bike on it every weekend.
That particular stretch of it goes from Emeryville to Point Richmond.
Not all of it is “right along the bay” either.
