In the Loop
Kelley is starting to post regular updates on the Bicycle Program's blog. Check back each week to see what she and the Bicycle Advisory Committee are working on!

Bike Detour Map
The 100 block of Gay St. will be closed for a year for reconstruction. Here is a map of the bike detour options. One route uses the sidewalk in the construction zone (remember to go slowly, yield to pedestrians and give an audible warning when slowly passing pedestrians). The other option enters downtown via Summit Hill (you can jump off Summit Hill as soon as you reach the driveway for the parking lot in front of the furniture store) and then the 200 block of Gay St. It exits downtown via State St. and Summit Hill, with a left turn onto Central. Be aware that motorists coming down Summit Hill in that section go fast, so be careful moving left to make the left turn. You can also make the left turn by acting like a pedestrian. When you reach the Summit Hill/Central intersection, use the crosswalk on the far side of the intersection to cross Summit Hill. You can then transition back to the road, yielding to cars as you do.

Dogwood Trail Maps
It's so much easier to see all the beautiful flowers when you are on your bike instead of in a car. There are now bike route maps for five of the Dogwood Trails available online. Thanks to Elle Colquitt, co-author of Knoxville's Bicycle Routes, for developing the maps.

Bike Racks
Does your favorite store lack bike racks? Print off these handy cards, fill in the name of the business and sign, then deliver to the store manager. You can let Kelley know which business you've taken them to so she can follow up with the managers.
