Akron pedals to honor

Akron has 13 miles of off-road trails, 9.5 miles of conventional bike lanes and 12.8 miles of shared bike lanes. 

That brought the city a bronze award from the American League of Bicyclists in May.

About 1 percent of Americans use the bicycle as a major transportation means, compared to 40 percent in European cities, such as Copenhagen and Amsterdam.
