Summer is a great time to hop back on your bike at hit a local trail. But which one do you like best?
There's a lot that goes into finding a favorite spot. Do you want to wind through the woods or cycle in the sun? Do you prefer spots that have an abundance of places to stop and get water? Is a straight path better than a circular one, or do you like ending up where you started?

But now, I much prefer going on the road. At the speeds I cycle (20+mph), the trails are not safe, for me nor anyone else on the trail. There are also too many stopping points where it crosses a road. All that being said, I love seeing more folks on wheels. It is a good thing. I'm also glad to see the bike lanes and sharrows in Homewood. All positive signs.
Maybe you should try voting for best psychiatrist.
Try viewing the article on your computer. The poll should be visible then. Thanks! Lauren Traut Associate Regional Editor
