This would be a pretty minor accomplishment to one of the legions of people in Geneva who bike long distances every day, frequently with kids on bike trailers or bike seats. But anyway - I took a nice long (for me) bike ride on my own today. The inspiration was Genève-Satigny Route 102 (
http://www.veloland.ch/en/routes/route-0102.html) but I didn't follow it exactly, and also didn't finish. Also spring is here - that was a big inspiration too!
Starting out around the train station was tough - there's some marked bike lanes, but they're hell to try to follow in the midst of nasty traffic downtown. Once I got on a separate bike path, though, things were much more pleasant. I went by:
- some kind of petroleum refinery
- a playground next to what looked like public/social housing, where loads of people that you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley were hanging out
- a pedestrian/bike bridge over the highway
- finally a playground with a nice view of the Saleve.
Overall, a really enjoyable ride.
