You won’t find them behind a bookcase or under a staircase, but there are hidden bicycle and pedestrian passages in unexpected places. I thought I knew them all, like the Wilkie bridge that shoots you straight to Palo Alto. But I keep finding a new ones, and I know there are more out there, yet to be discovered.
About the Bike Commute Diaries: In honor of National Bike Month, I’m sharing 31 short, sweet and surprising things I’ve discovered about bike commuting one for each day in May. Happy National Bike Month!

I recently discovered one off of Sand Hill (sort of), in that housing development opposite Stanford. One tiny sign – on the wrong side of the road – and that’s the only reason I found it.

I’ve used that one too. We had dinner at Flea Street Cafe on Alameda and cut through the neighborhood to Stanford on our way home. We stopped at the Rodin garden just as it was getting dark. http://ladyfleur.wordpress.com/2011/07/08/bike-date-friday-locally-grown-and-fabulous/
