Good view of the city from this downtown bridge. Train and transit pass over the bridge (bikes are allowed) but it's much better to pass under it on one of the many riverside trails.

Road cycling

Road bridge with a good cycle path running into/out of Downtown. Following the train line you get a great view of the city.
