Best Cities for Cycling: Louisville, Kentucky

Bicycling Magazine has named Louisville one of the three most improved cities for biking in the country. I'm thrilled that Bicycling Magazine has noticed how much work has been done to make Louisville a more bicycle friendly place. I'm not going to lie, there is still much work to be done, but we've made real strides forward. I ride my bike all over my neighborhood and am expanding my bike travels with nearly every ride.

What's happening: More miles of the Louisville Loop; more bike-lane connections; rumor of a permanent cyclocross venue; a second bike summit next year

Why: Mayor embraced cycling as a way to improve downtown liveability; bike summit created a visionary goal-the Louisville Loop-that has inspired the whole city

In case you're curious, our companions in the top three most improved cities are Washington D.C. and New York city.
