KCET’s Social Focus website extolls the bicycling virtues on San Luis Obispo, using as its hook the new Madonna Bicycle Path.
According to KCET, “The nearly 11 square mile city currently hosts 34 miles of on-street bike lanes, a bicycle boulevard, bicycle corrals and about six miles of dedicated bicycle path, with more coming down the pipeline.” The piece quotes the Bicycle Coalition’s Dan Revoire and the city of SLO’s Peggy Mandeville about the fruitfulness of the public/private partnership that led to the creation of the Madonna trail.
Nice publicity for the city.
Others who have ridden the path between rain storms have nice things to say about the path, with a few caveats. Like: there’s one hill that requires a very low gear; there’s an abrupt curb ending at the Inn end; and once you’ve reached Marsh St heading east it’s hard to get on the street.
