I-94 Westside
Last Saturday (6 June), I re-attempted 24 May’s ride on a morning with more pleasant weather. I completed it this time and didn’t bother to re-photograph the Roosevelt Avenue bridge, which makes Tarnów Street the first bridge documented on this ride. I believe the street is named for the Polish city, since it’s next to Chopin Street which is most likely named for the Polish composer. Detroit has a long history of Polish immigration, and there’s even a West Side Detroit Polish American Historical Society.

Southfield Freeway + Bagley Pedestrian Bridge
Last Saturday (30 May), I picked up my friend Nixill’s Kroger order for him, then we took a car trip down the Southfield Freeway to document the pedbridges there. Nix wants to build his aerial photography portfolio, and we both saw a Pedbridge Project trip as a good way to do that.

Lodge Freeway and Holden Street
This morning, I had to go to Henry Ford Hospital to have blood work done, a Post Office to drop off a couple packages, and Whole Foods Market to blow like $70 in gift cards on food and nice body care supplies I wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford. I was finished at the hospital around 8:40 and had a few minutes to kill before the Post Office on Milwaukee opened at 9:00, so I was able to detour a bit, pass a townhouse complex named for the real McCoy, and cross a pedbridge in an area that’s quite secluded considering its proximity to New Center, Midtown, and Henry Ford Hospital.
Eastbound approach. There is indeed a curb cut; it's just off camera to the bottom right. (embiggen) 
View eastbound over the bridge. The red paint is a nice change from the usual blue or grey. (embiggen) 
My bike and trailer on the bridge. I'm not usually going to take photos of my bike, but this is serious Reddit fodder right here. (embiggen) 
View north. Henry Ford Hospital is to the left, and the big brick building to the right is the New Center U-Haul truck rental and storage facility. (embiggen) 
View south towards downtown. You can just barely see the Renaissance Center on the horizon. (embiggen) 
Westbound approach, featuring a nice desirepath and my bike trailer's safety flag. (embiggen) -
I-94 and Roosevelt
I was going to ride from home to Trenton Street and back, to hit the Roosevelt, Tarnow, Lumley, and Trenton bridges across I-94. I gave up at McGraw/Livernois, however, because I was really hot and riding into a headwind. I’m not used to riding in 28°C temperatures.
