Oregon has lots of rivers and bicyclists, ergo a lot of pix of bikes on bridges.

Other states have bridges too!

Pic from the Magical Mystery Tour of the Pacific Northwest https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...644932642b.jpg NF 23 (Cispus Road) in Washington state from the Magical Mystery Tour. We crossed a LOT of bridges on that 6 day tour! California has a few bridges as well. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...7f80956d70.jpg Bixby Bridge near Big Sur - Centurion ProTour, my "zero" bike. Technically not on the bridge, but I did ride over it.

Is a boardwalk a bridge? |

Back when I used to ride the "bike path"(not) to Ventura , no water under this bridge! |

You can kind of see part of my bike (1984 Bianchi Tipo Corsa) on the Verrazzano Bridge. New York 5 Borough Bike Tour. Please excuse goofy-looking helmet/hat ... currently looking for newer helmet!

a few shots from the Chain of Rocks Bridge that crosses the Mississippi river just a bit north of St. Louis. This used to be part of the famous Route 66, but is now solely a pedestrian and bike bridge. The bridge is 5,353 feet long, and is reported to be the longest bridge dedicated to non-motorized traffic.
Here's the wiki page near the west end of the bridge.... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a4b1ba_c_d.jpg also near the west end, showing the bend in the bridge. This is not a wide bridge, and the bend was reputed to cause some trouble with the auto traffic at times. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d284e5_c_d.jpg on the downstream side of the bridge, you can see these curious structures. While they look like little chateaus or tiny castles, they are actually the water intakes for the St. Louis water supply! There are videos somewhere showing a quick tour inside one of them. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f6557f_c_d.jpg Steve in Peoria (about 3 hours north of St. Louis) |

I believe this is the Pinkerton High Bridge on the Great Allegheny Passage. You can't see much of the bike under the hulking, hirsute rider, but it's there somewhere.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a644d446_h.jpg Funny story, the day before this picture was taken, when I was wearing a different jersey, my brother and I stopped at a pub in Ohiopyle and I asked the waitress to recommend a beer from their large selection. She recommended a Black Butte Porter. |
Hoping to eventually post a photo, they are finally building a bike path bridge over the Patuxent River to connect rail trails between the DC and Baltimore areas. My usual 18 mile training ride might become MUCH longer...

How about a little baby bridge on a lonely country road over an irrigation ditch?
