The wash trails are ideal, but literally nobody uses them other than the homeless . They're typically so filthy and when night falls on my rides, they become dangerous. I've ridden across town into the wetlands using the wash trails so I have to use my night light and its gotten homeless aggravated at me, but I cannot see without it. It's not my fault it's pitch dark and their entire livelihood is spread out on the trail. WTF. Cycling in Vegas has forced me to ride into the night because of the unbearable heat during the day and work hours do not correlate, which means I'm constantly in some awkward-seedy situation riding in the evenings. I feel like I'm trying too hard to enjoy cycling here.
@@artiebucco9660 I used work nights and would take the wash trail between Craig ranch Park and LVB. The homeless are typically pretty peaceful but have seen some crazy stuff lol. They've also started shutting down some of the pedestrian bridges due to the homeless as well. But with a little gorilla tactics they're easy to open back up. I know the section of trail you're taking about that's completely dark. It's a little further south and the homeless knock out the overhead lights every time they fix them. I don't know where you're coming from but I've started sticking mostly to the north and west sides of the city on my non-commute rides. There are a few fun and safe ways to get to the West side of the 215 trail. Lone mountain, gowen, and Ulta are pretty quiet and peaceful. Also the area north of 215 around aviary has some pretty friendly roads as well. But the worst is the heat. It's funny, there's a guy on here, brianstorming, who inspired me to post some of my rides. He's labeled some of his videos as being hot at 90°. For us that's a cool spring lol.
We are so lucky to have good infrastructures in france, it is a real pleasure to ride in the city, day or night
America's designer really likes asphalt it seems

Not a single bike lane?
The bus lanes are "dual use" bus/bike, but yeah this is the poor part of town. Not a lot of infrastructure.
@@popejbryant yep because nothing goes together quite like 40,000LB mounds of steel and bikes lmfao.
God, that's austere
