Riverfront Times covers MoBikeFed's Report Card for Missouri
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Tue, 05/20/2008 - 12:19am
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.
