Which bay bridge is the least MC friendly?

    Golden Gate never bothered me. Really wide and hard to see down.

    But that long stacked high "Richmond Bay Bridge" thing causes me a lot of
    puckering from damn wind and cold. Seems like you never get to the other
    side and fight the damn wind while glancing off to the side and the long
    fall. More unnerving when you see the cars weaving around from the wind.
    I'm getting the hang of finding a truck to ride along side of.

    What if the truck has to change lanes suddenly? Windy or not, I stay the
    hell away from trucks!

    “I think that the protections that we enjoy for freedom of worship exist
    so long as we don’t step over the line. When religious worship and
    belief cross over into things like fraud, victimization of others and
    the disruption of the political arena, that protection is no longer
    appropriate.”

    Been on that bridge riding at a 45 degree angle. That is a spooky ride in
    the wind and it feels like the bike gets a bit airborne and light in the
    steering.. The long bridge on I-5 north of Sacto can get bad in the wind as
    well. Least it doesn't have sharks under it looking at you as the Richmond
    bridge.
