Oshaughnessy Blvd, Miraloma Park

O’Shaughnessy Boulevard feels like a hill when driving on it. The road is surrounded by trees, shrubs, and grass on both sides. For drivers, this street may feel long, quiet, and enjoyable with a breeze. But for a biker like me, I love this road, especially on a fixed gear bike. Going downhill on this bike is extremely fun because it feels like you’re going downhill on one of those secluded roads and that a car may pop out of nowhere. Well on this street, there are cars every now and then, so for you bikers, be careful! There isn’t much to this street except for the green surrounding it and the fact that it is a long twisty road.

O'Shaughnessy Boulevard is a very important street that connects Twin Peaks to the Balboa Park area. Starting at the bottom of Twin Peaks next to the School of the Arts High School, O’Shaughnessy runs all the way down to the Glen Park Bart Station. In addition to the Bart Station, an entrance to highway 280 is at the bottom of O’Shaughnessy. The street itself does not host many retail stores with pretty much all of them down at the bottom next to the BART Station. The drive down O’Shaughnessy is actually a pretty scenic one but a very windy and curvy one. There are some nice views of parts of the city. There is housing on O’Shaughnessy though not very much. Public transportation is also not very hard to find here.
