Those of us that live and ride in Greenville will be very encouraged to learn of the undertakings of the city in promoting itself as a bike friendly place to live and ride. Please take the time to research the information that is covered in the following link. It speaks to the initiative, the bike friendly comunity and the bike friendly business designation. The Greenville Powers-at-Be have provided bicycle maps (roads, mountain and trails), as well as oportunities for training/development such as Traffic Skills 101 (learning how to ride on a road), as well as the legal side of driving and sharing the road with cyclists. There is also information on Greenville's mass transit move to incorporate bike racks on the city buses.
This site has many downloadable forms and brochures for you to utilize and/or share with longtime cyclists and beginners.

A big THANK YOU for Andrew Meeker, Urban Designer for designating many roads with "Sharrows" (graphic of Arrow and Bike--sharing of the road between cars and bikes).

Greenville continues to impress me as a city, and the cycling community is remarkably friendly and diverse. A few years ago, the "Sharrow" roads started with River St./Richardson St. and has spread consistently thanks to the efforts of Andrew Meeker and many others. This is just another great reason to love our fine city!
