Spoiled?: Another new bike route near home

[shootingstar]

Admittedly, we are immensely spoiled....about 2 wks. ago, the city has confirmed yet another new bike route (extension) near home.

Now that means we live near 5 different bike routes that are signed, bike lane marked or separated bike lanes, with all routes going out in different directions from home. Then some routes branch off or join up with other signed bike routes with bike lanes, etc.

We are soooooo..lucky. I don't think we ever predicted this would happen when we moved here several yrs. ago.

We don't live out in the country. We live downtown.

ROCK ON! I've considered to moving to the Illinois side of St. Louis, just because they have so many dedicated bike paths that GO places. I'm jealous:D

I'm jealous too.

Well, if I were try to draw the different route hookups to yet more bike routes near us that can get you decently far out from our place.. it would be slightly messy looking map of marked crossovers and become a creative-looking spiderweb. But all understandable, once one bikes such routes. :) Some routes are busier than others at certain times of day/year.

NbyNW: How's Edmonton for bike routes these days? I've only been there once--- before cycling passion bit me.

My partner was there last time over 20 yrs. ago.

I'm jealous. SW Ohio has 90 miles of bike trail, with more in the planning stages, but they don't actually GO anywhere. You go through a lot of middle-of-nowhere towns. It's very pretty--follows a river through a state park.
The ones planned will apparently follow the Ohio River, so you can get downtown if you wanted to.
Cleveland has had plans to make the city more bike-friendly for years. They've had a proposal around for a while to connect the trails that go through the parks. Not much has come of it, though.
