Just what will it take to turn Columbus into a real cycling town?
A flat, easily ridable terrain? It’s got it.
Bike racks on buses for trips that can’t be completed on two wheels? It’s got them.
Gas prices in the $4 range? It’ll have them soon enough.
The city also is promising more bike lanes, more bike trails and even Downtown shower facilities as part of its Bicentennial Bikeways Plan.
But all it really takes to turn Columbus into a cycling town, some bike advocates say, is more cyclists. And—oh, yes—drivers who know how to share the road with those cyclists.
Others say it’s unrealistic to think a city as spread out as Columbus will ever become as much of a cycling town as, say, Portland, Ore.
