That's a possibility, but there are usually nasty scrub-filled ditches running perpendicular to those bayous. Pretty much impossible to cross unless you are geared for serious adventuring (and not a bog-standard bike commute).
Such a ditch is the reason the White Oak bayou bike trail does not connect directly with the Heights bike trail. You can stand at the end of one and see the riders passing by on the other, but you'd wreck yourself trying to get over there.
