Heights Bike Trail

there's actually a fair amount of crime in the heights, especially around its fringes.

but the bike trail probably is safe

 

I live in the Heights and take this trail all the time. I have never encountered anything that would make me feel unsafe. Now when I take it all the way to UofH and go down to the bayou trail that first part can feel a little scary. You are under the bridges on a trail riding and there are some homeless that crash there. But I figure that since you are most likely going 12 or more miles and hour, most people cant run that fast....

But the heights trail, I wouldn't worry. If you do just start off at the court house by Washington and ride the bayou, I see cops on horseback out there a lot.

 

I meant to say in that last sentence..

"If you do feel unsafe, then start off at the courthouse"

google maps bike is a good tool to see if any other trails are around you.

 

It's safe particularly if you stay between 11th and 610N. FYI the trail is blocked under 610N @ tc jester so if you are going to continue north you will have to go above.

 

Totally safe. Nicholson is a nice street.

 

umm, look both ways before u cross the street.
