It is really nice when places have good trails for walking and biking to give people additional options. I admire the brave people who ride bike through most of winter. My risk tolerance is not that high! Certainly having a safe place to keep your bike is also very helpful.
ReplyDeleteI know our buses here in Duluth have the bus racks for bikes. I just learned they have training classes in the spring. A good thing.I'm sure it's easy but I'd rather go into using it with confidence the first time I went to use it rather than try to figure out potentially holding up the bus.
