Bicycle Lanes

[Catwhoorg]

Yes, that looks like big money indeed. It sounds like a good trail. They probably had no money left to move the lamp posts! Or it may be that the designer never rides a bike. If he does, he's just including some variety and a challenge for you perhaps.

$11.6 million was the stated total cost to the current state (which includes a spur to the Kennesaw Mountain visitor center). Passes under two interstates (I75 and I575).

Very lucky to have it.

But the little things like those chicanes and the placement of the buttons and road crossing clearly show someone wasn't thinking like a cyclist.

Long rides we can drive a little further and hit the Silver Comet trail. Counting the trial it connects to in Alabama its almost 100 miles of straight fairly flat off road rail trail, with fairly minimal light controlled crossings. Busy near Atlanta, but go out a bit and its very quiet.

See a fair few people working on hard efforts on their time trial bikes in that more rural section.

the motorists?



I've given some jip to some red light runners and even nearly ended up in a fight with one turkey.

Is that some sort of slang? Coz I don't suppose they have bike-riding turkeys were you are.

Is that some sort of slang? Coz I don't suppose they have bike-riding turkeys were you are.

Is that because the only place that has them is where you are?

Or, is it because there's no such thing as bike riding turkeys?
