Do You Consider Your Town to be Bike Friendly?

As more and more people are leaving their cars at home, we'd like to do a quick survey of our readers to see how many of you consider yourselves bike commuters! More importantly we wonder what may prevent more of you from choosing the bike over the car.

Maybe you work way too far away? Or, the route to work doesn't leave you feeling safe? Maybe there are no bike racks to lock your bike up when you get there? Maybe it's just entirely too hilly? Whatever your reasons, we would love to hear them.

You probably aren't the only one in your town who wishes there was a bike lane, or at least a shared roadway sign! So let's hear it!

Thanks for participating! We will report back our results. Be sure to share with your friends. If you know of paths that are in need of repairs, or signs that need to be put up, visit Bikepath Country for more info on how we can help your town raise funding for bike paths, signage, parks and recreation areas!

The Great Outdoors - a Hudson Valley Fall

The air is cool, the leaves are turning vibrant shades of orange, red, and yellow. Yup…
fall is here! And what follows fall, the dark, cold, and sometimes white season called winter! While some parts of the country are lucky enough to not have that frigidly cold winter season, we in the Hudson Valley are not. Which, is more of a reason to take advantage of the great fall season we are lucky enough to have.

Fall for us means apple picking, pumpkin picking, pumpkin lattes, fall foliage, and of course Oktoberfest. Fall is also an amazing time to get out and enjoy nature! Here's your fall reminder to take advantage of the outdoors! It won't be long before that frigid winter air comes blowing in.

Take a hike and enjoy a mountain top view of a Hudson Valley fall. Get out on your bike and enjoy the fall views along the Hudson! And remember if you're in need of a new suggested ride check out the Bikepath Country App, which is filled with local rides no matter where you are! Available for free download on Android and iPhone!
