It wasn’t until we spent some time in Titusville that I could see the potential for what the coming trail network can spur.

Since the beginning of 2007 I’ve been tracking how much money my wife and I save by biking for transportation. Everybody knows it’s expensive to operate a motor vehicle, but it’s fun to actually add it up and see how you’re doing. “Saving money” can be a complicated assessment. A very big part of how […]
