UrbanPlanet Downtown Bike Tour

[colemangaines]

Once the weather warms up in spring, would anyone be interested in a bike ride around downtown to look at proposed/under construction projects? I'm very familiar with biking in Nashville and often give tours this way, as I'm sure others on here do too, but this would be open to all skill levels of riding.

Below is a basic route that covers several projects around downtown as well as cruising through older, less active parts of downtown for fun. It's about 10 miles and very frequently uses protected bike lanes or greenways. If this happened I'm thinking we could start at the farmer's market, where people could rent a B-Cycle if needed (they have e-bikes available too).

If anyone's interested, let me know what you think or which projects you'd like to ride by.

Yes, but wait till spring and do it on a Sunday.

Heck yeah! The only time I ride downtown is for the Tour de Nash.

CG, if you want to maximize the reach, could be interesting to do a version of this ride in partnership with someone like Green Fleet tours or Music City Dope Pedalers and get more than just this website involved.

I’m a long time — like for years! - reader of this forum. I have posted a handful of comments over 10 years, but that’s it. But I would legitimately love to do a bike tour of project sites with someone who really knows what he’s talking about. I will definitely do this if there’s any way I can.

I’m always looking for people who like long rides on the Trace. I’ve gone a little beyond Hohenwald, where Meriweather Lewis was murdered while riding to Washington DC. He lived near the Trace for a while.
