Bike lanes drive beneftis far beyond fitness Jackie Batson logged her first road miles when she was a little girl riding a bike to Augusta Circle Elementary. It’s a kick she never outgrew. Now a math teacher at Greenville Middle Academy—and founder of her school’s RamSpinners Bike Club—Batson cycles upwards of a hundred miles per week.

And while she’s never been one to let a little traffic intimidate her, she is delighted with the City of Greenville’s new emphasis on creating bike lanes in and around downtown.

T H E

W H E E L S

“I was already riding these roads all the time,” Batson says, “but it could be treacherous. Now, with more bike lanes, it’s safer for everyone.”

The city’s bike lanes began appearing just a few years ago—the first was on Richardson Street—and with the recent retrofitting of Park Avenue/East North Street and Washington Street there are now 12 miles of on-street bicycle facilities, either striped or sharrowed, with plans for many more. The goal is to improve connectivity between designated bike lanes and bike-friendly streets, thus making it possible for people to navigate the city—safely and efficiently—on two wheels.

“There were always ‘iffy’ places, but now everything’s starting to get connected,” says Batson, who races with the GHS Every Woman cycling

All level of cyclists are welcome; the pace is easy and no one is left behind. Helmets are required. This ride is led by Brian Graham, the city’s Greenway & Sustainability Manager, and Ty Houck, the county’s Director of Greenways, Natural and Historic Resources. The ride starts at varying locations. For details, call Brian Graham at 467-4350 or email bgraham@greenvillesc.gov.

Critical Cruise Community Bike Ride On the last Friday of each month at 5:30PM, take part in a one-hour group ride along Greenville’s bike-friendly streets. Hosted by Bikeville, this ride celebrates cycling and is open to riders of all levels. Helmets are required. The ride leaves from the parking deck on West Washington Street, next to Barley’s Taproom.

Bike-Friendly is Business-Friendly Bike lanes aren’t merely recreational amenities; indeed, they’re a core element of Greenville’s ongoing revitalization. Creating a viable transportation network for bicycles improves options for commuters. Getting more people on bikes—and thus out of cars—is good for the environment. And the city’s increasingly cyclecentric identity can become a strong economic recruitment tool.

Thus Greenville has adopted a “Complete Streets” philosophy, working to provide infrastructure that’s safe for bicyclists, pedestrians and public transit riders as well as motorists. On-street bicycle facilities are being developed in three ways: retrofits and rebuilds of existing roadways, and new construction.

“A ‘complete street’ is a balanced street, one that meets the needs all users, not just automobiles,” says Andrew Meeker, urban designer for the City of Greenville and chairman of Bikeville, the city’s bike-friendly community initiative. Creating an allencompassing transportation network is an equity issue: “A lot of people ride for recreation, but there is a large population that rides for very utilitarian purposes,” Meeker explains.

“We need to accommodate them, too, whether they’re commuting by choice or by necessity.”

Other considerations include air quality and fuel

consumption. “Infrastructure that encourages biking and walking helps reduce our impact on the environment,” says Meeker, and this ecofriendly emphasis in turn enhances economic development efforts. “Do we build the city based on cars, or based on people? … Making the right decisions can have a huge economic impact.”

Quality of life—health, wellness, environment, recreation—attracts quality investment. A vibrant cycling community is a compelling draw for vibrant companies.

“This is a strong recruitment tool,” Meeker says. “It helps sell Greenville.”

Life in the Bike Lane Scott McCrary of Tandem, Touring & Recumbent Bikes agrees that what’s good for bicycles is good for business. In fact, his shop relocated »

She anticipates utilizing the East North Street bike lanes proximate to Greenville Middle to teach her youth cycling club about responsible on-road riding habits while also encouraging an active lifestyle. “Bike-friendly roads make this a stronger, healthier community.”

Share the Road … It’s the Law! According to South Carolina law, cyclists are entitled to the same rights—and responsibilities—as motorists. Cyclists are allowed to be on the road. So expect to see them. Treat cyclists as you would any other slow-moving vehicle, and give them at least three feet of space when passing. Keep the following* in mind: • Drivers must keep a safe operating distance between themselves and cyclists.

• It is illegal for a driver to “buzz” a cyclist.

• Drivers may not harass or taunt cyclists • It is illegal to throw objects at cyclists.

downtown to take advantage of the burgeoning two-wheel network. “We want to be part of the growing bike culture within the city,” he explains.

“I use these bike lanes every chance I get.”

As advocacy chairman of the Greenville Spinners Bicycle Club, McCrary has long been a driving force behind bike-friendly initiatives.

Safety is the foremost priority, and he points out that complete street projects—which along with bike facilities often comprise turn lanes, buffers and fewer-but-wider driving lanes—are designed to calm traffic, thereby making roads safer for everyone … including motorists.

“If you do the roads right, it’s a win-win situation,” McCrary says.

Greenville was designated a “Bike Friendly Community” by the League of American

*from www.mybikelaw.com

Bicyclists last year, and the city is working to become even friendlier. A comprehensive plan is under way to increase bike-friendly infrastructure (including bicycle parking, rack-and-ride capacity on public buses, and bicycle detectors at select traffic signals) while also emphasizing educational outreach and enforcement of share-the-road rules.

“Greenville is becoming known as a cycling community,” McCrary says, and the many benefits—from transportation equity to a cleaner environment to enhance economic prospects—are worth every effort. What’s more, positive lifestyles are self-perpetuating.

“When people see cyclists out riding,” Jackie Batson says, “they think, ‘Oh, I want to do that, too!’”

THE EMPORIUM HISTORICAL WEST END

One Augusta Street, Greenville, SC • 864-271-0953

Mice on Main is a sort of scavenger hunt that was the idea and a senior project for Christ Church Episcopal School srudent Jim Ryan. Ryan wanted to do something good for the community and proposed the idea of installing a family of nine unique mice sculptures in surprising places along Greenville’s Main Street. His original idea spun from the book, Goodnight Moon, which he and his mom read every night when he was small. There are nine mice pictured in that story. Count them yourself. So Ryan raised the funding and commissioned Zan Wells, multi-talented Greenville sculptor, to make the individual mice. She and Ryan became a team, and Wells sculpted nine individual bronze mice, each one with his own look, character, and special place on Main Street.

Ryan and Wells placed the mice in their “hiding places,” thus creating Greenville’s fanciful downtown scavenger hunt for children of all ages. A bronzed sculpture of the book and one mouse are mounted on the fountain in front of the Hyatt Regency hotel and the other eight mice are installed along a nine-block stretch of Main Street between the Hyatt & the Westin Poinsett hotels.

The Mice on Main have become a popular way for families to entertain their young » children since the bronze mice were installed 10 years ago this year.

Happy 10th Anniversary Mice on Main!

Here are the hints to finding the mice. Check them off as yo ufind them: 1. Begin your search on North Main where the water flowing in and out of the hotel makes a fountain on the outside. You’ll find the father mouse, Marvin, reading his book. He can’t hide – take a good look!

2. Mother Maggie is just across, sitting where she can see Marvin.

When she looks down the street, she can see their five baby mice, placed here and there, all so sweet.

3. Cross the street and walk a bit. You’ll see Marvin, Jr. at the top of the stairs where coffee lovers and computer gurus meet and poets love to count their feet.

4. Marcley’s somewhere near the plaza square. Look around.

You’ll find him there.

5. Millie’s a high “high-tech” girl. You’ll really have to search, but give it a whirl.

6. Watch out! Mitch does his skateboarding in the bank’s alley.

You’ll be lucky to find him; don’t dally.

7. Across the street there’s healthy stuff along the way. That’s where Melissa loves to play.

Saffron’s is an eclectic cafe, with a welcoming outdoor patio, specializing in delicious and reasonably priced cuisine.

9. Mifflin’s husband, Uncle Miles, Miles loves to eat Italian. He’s by the rain spout. If you’ve found him, give a shout!

That’s what a mouse hunt is all about!
