I cycled from Marketplace Mall on the Salem Creek Greenway to WSSU, north on MLK Blvd, east on Lowery St. that extends beside Bus. 40, and then left onto the Bushy Fork Greenway. I rode north on Bushy Fork by Skyland Park, Evergreen Cemetery, and Lakeside "Villas" to Winston Lake Park. Then I turned around and returned. It was a 12-mile loop.
Bushy Fork Greenway is not a scenic nor a particularly safe ride. There is LOTS of trash everywhere, broken glass on the greenway, and graffiti on every vertical surface. It is obviously a hangout for trouble makers. I would not ride there after school hours and certainly not after dark.
There are plans to connect the Bushy Fork Greenway to the Salem Creek Creekway in the near future. Maybe not a good idea.
