Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail

Here's a good reason why I'll be selling one of my Catrike 700s. Although I set up my Red Catrike 700 for cruising and touring it still can't get me off the pavement. So what happens after I sell Red? I'll be looking at fully suspended trikes that can comfortably handle gravel and dirt trails. My doing so I'll have the best of both worlds. My fast 700 for paved streets and hopefully soon a suspended trike that will take me off the road and to places like the Bizz Johnson trail.

Cycling is Good for Business

Posted 4/18/13 on RTC (rails-to-trails):

When a rock slide forced the closure of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park at mile 155 near the Paw Paw Tunnel in western Maryland, it was bad news for the local and interstate trail users.
But it was also bad news for local businesses. This popular trail corridor, which attracts more than 4,700,000 visitors a year, is inextricably linked to the economies of the local communities. The opening of the towpath and its connection to the Great Allegheny Passage has been an enormous boost for the economy  with 64.4 percent of businesses reporting revenue increases "at least somewhat as a direct result of the trail."
