• We also understand that average folks will not start to use their bikes as a form of transportation until they feel safe - which means segregated paths like they have in Xenia and Marietta and Dayton and Yellow Springs and Athens and all the other cities and towns in our state that have made significant progress in encouraging alternative transportation choices.

• Cincinnati Bike/PAC supports the Ohio River Trail as a healthy, affordable and essential transportation choice for the citizens of our city.
