Hello and welcome to Biking in the Upstate! I'm excited to have a place to explore and discuss bicycling (in all its forms) in the Upstate! I'm just beginning this blog, so it may take me a while to find my voice and get everything set. I appreciate your patience.
In the mean time, here's a little bit about me: While getting my Masters degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I fell in love with the idea of bicycle commuting. While going to school and working in the city for four years, I road my bike on the city's roads, trails and paths year-round. Whether riding around Lake Monona during the early winter, running errands Willy Street Neighborhood in the fall or going church in the Schenk Atwood Neighborhood in the spring, I loved it!
When my husband and I moved to the Upstate of South Carolina in late summer of 2010, my love of biking followed. Even though there is a lack of infrastructure in many communities (as there can be in rural areas), there are still many cyclists out and enjoying the freedoms, speed and joys of riding. I hope that the communities in the area come to appreciate the health, environmental and economic development benefits that come from biking.
Happy Trails!
i'm glad you started this blog spot for this community, nice to know there's people like you who care about the people and the environment. i wish i knew how to find and connect with someone like you... to lead me down the bike path! pun intended :)
