Riverfront Times covers MoBikeFed's Report Card for Missouri

posted by Brent Hugh at 5/20/2008 05:19:00 PM

The Riverfront Times' Keegan Hamilton covered MoBikeFed's Report Card on bicycling and walking in Missouri and the Bike to Work Week activities in St. Louis this year:

One problem: The pathways for cyclists aren't always in the best condition, according to a report put out by the Missouri Bicycle Federation, Inc.

In fact, MoBikeFed just gave Missouri metro areas a "D" for the second year running. . . .

As I discovered on my bike commute Monday morning, cycling to work in this town can be dirty business.

Below [photo of mud-covered path in Forest Park] is the aftermath of the St. Louis Brewers Heritage Festival, held in Forest Park over the weekend. Try pedaling through that and staying clean for that Monday-morning meeting.
