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.
