Instead of building bikelanes my county has opted for trails, which honestly is not a bad option. Or at the very least, better than nothing. The way they did it was just by turning a lot of the sidewalks into multi use paths, so it makes a lot of sense I didn’t notice that I could use them.

There’s quite a few of them, and it definitely makes me feel safer that I can just ride on the “sidewalk” on a lot of the busy streets.

I kind of wish they would advertise this shit more because I literally had no idea, it’s like it’s hiding in plain site on their website.

    The promotion of bike paths is a pretty big problem in my city too. I’ve been cycling here as my only means of transportation for almost 6 years now, and I’m still discovering new little trails occasionally.

      Yeah man, I wish they’d just put up a big street sign or something that said “this is a trail!”
