This is a guest blog from Tina Schmidt of My City Bikes public health alliance. My City Bikes’ mission is to help people discover better health and quality of life through biking.

If you’ve never experienced Indianapolis by bike, you’re in for a treat! Sight-seeing by bike reveals a whole new world, and Indianapolis’ exceptional network of separated bike paths make it easy and nearly traffic-free to get around on a bicycle. Haven’t ridden a bike in a while? Don’t worry – we’ve got the whole thing planned.
