The biggest problem with bicycling in the lakes region are the hills and sharing the road with car traffic. The WOW trail would be nine miles long x 12 feet wide asphalt pavement, mostly very flat, and free of car traffic.
Most everyone can ride a bicycle till they turn 101 when their knees start to get a little stiff. It's good exercise, low cost, and bike trails get used as soon as the snow melts off them in late March.
It would be a business booster for locally owned small businesses like bike rentals-repair, and food in the Weirs. As it is now, the Weirs has a very long, winter off-season.
