FYI - For those who do not subscribe to the riverside newsflash....
personal comment: the bike path is a way to increase Riverside's profile, for more people to 'discover Riverside'. It is indeed a small way, but this smallness is proportional to Riverside's smallness. Bikes and Riverside go well together. It might be enough to help out some cbd businesses. Plus, bikes are easier to park. :)
