WOW, what a bridge. Patti, Leslie, have you seen it?

Are there any other unusual pedestrian/bike bridges near any one?

They make it sound like the bridge belongs to Omaha...

They only built half of it...We built the other half...and we met in the middle.

Both sides of the bridge are being built up.. The Quest center is on the Omaha side...Our side is more open with a park feeling....Most of Omaha side had already been built years ago with factories and such.

But yes it is beautiful....

We (Omaha and Council Bluffs) are also building another new bridge, which both side are nearly to the middle...but it is a car bridge that will be replacing the old Veterans Memorial bridge...which I call the scary bridge....

I'm anxious to have that one replaced. I use it a lot and it is a little skinny single lane each way bridge...that the concrete is chunking off of and the metal is rusty looking...LOL...I pray everytime I have to use it...

I've just seen pictures so far. I don't go downtown Omaha at all.
IMHO the money could have been spent elsewhere.
It is pretty when the lights are on.

awm : thank you for the sweet and supportive wishes. I sure hope your ride goes well. Two of the folks I am with have done that ride and loved it. We are indeed fortunate in the support we get from our families. tina thank you too. I will keep up the updates as it helps to clarify things in my head too :). I am glad you are enjoying it. golddust. we had flashing lights but it was just a miserable set of circumstances....hopefully not to be repeated. Glad you like my TALL tales. Sue yes it never has stormed today but we have had a fine time. We walked several miles to go to a Dollar Store and to stretch our legs. Time for a nap I think. Your trip sounds wonderful. I bet you will always cherish that time as will I this trip. Most likely won't do another as I don't want to leave DH this long again but this one time it is good. More later. c

First Polly...I meant NJ..LOL...loved it ! Dee I am so glad you liked it...at the very end it says the musician and the name of the piece...The Farewell. I sure hope this will inspire you to do what you can to get back into an active lifestyle. Your words are " play" and that is exactly as it should be. No reason it has to be competitive or terribly difficult or involove 1000's of miles or expense...you hit it perfectly...fun. Maybe you have a friend that can join you...or a spouse or SO or.....child ??? Let me know....wish you were close by. c

Riding a bike with a dog on a leash

Only an idiot would do this and I speak from experience. Many years ago, I hopped on my son's bike and took my Afghan hound for a run. Bad move, a very stupidly bad move. She bolted, I was thrown from the bike and had a major concussion. It was like a soap opera. I had amnesia. To this very day I can't tell you my name...just kidding... but I lost three days of my life. This happened on a Monday night and two days before I had bought a room size braided rug at John Wanamakers for the new house we had just moved into. After my fall, I walked into the living room and gasped..where did this rug come from? So , no a very bad idea. Another tragic story concerning dogs and accidents.....my very best friend from age 13 and a big animal lover too had a mastiff who weighed 160 pounds. About four years ago she took the dog out at midnight and the dog pulled her over and she smashed her head on the walk. She was unconscious for a few hours, came to and her husband took her to the hospital. Over these last years her condition deteriorated into Parkinsons and a year ago she was put into a home and last month had a feeding tube put in. She is flat on her back and cannot speak. So people , be careful with your dogs.

How many people/bikers have any of you seen on a bridge built for that purpose near you? (Mighty rare around here.)

None in the winter. So I'd guess it's only used 8 months out of the year.

We don't have any around here, but the bike trails are very well used, from what I see.

I rarely ride on them. To crowded. I prefer the streets.

The bike trails around here are in use ALL the time...Only time I didn't see any was when they were covered in snow.

I'm sure the bridge will be used a lot...
