Dean Koehlinger says that Fort Wayne needs bike lanes, not just trails. This is a very good idea. The Rivergreenway bike paths follow the three rivers. This is not an efficient way to get around. There need to be a few sections of trails and bike paths added in other places in town to make bike commuting safer. The upcoming Rivergreenway expansion near IPFW will really help. An east-west and north-south route through town would be useful.

Today the Journal-Gazette and Star Press published a stories about bike commuting.

I have been peddling to work frequently since starting grad school. I have only driven on a few workdays since September. Yesterday I rode my bike to work. After work I rode an extra 72 km. For about a third of the ride, I rode with three guys from a local bike shop. Man, are they fast. I’ll probably go on a ride tonight.
