BIKE: Metric Blvd.?

[Joel Sumner]

I find Metric ok between Parmer and Kramer.  Metric from Kramer to 
Rutland is not much fun.  Heading South is ok because it is downhill.  
North is uphill, the wide (or very wide) shoulder is not there, road is 
much bumpier.  Instead, you might cut through the office park West of 
Metric (off of Boyer)

Pkwy, Thermal Dr. (which turns into Metric at Howard), all the way down to Rutland. The city's bike map declares this road to be for experienced urban cyclists only. I have some city-riding experience from Houston, so it can't be any worse.
