See this photo? This is not Elyria. Not yet, anyway.

We can only hope that through the efforts of Bike Elyria and others we will soon see a event where bicyclists of all sorts are welcomed to downtown and anywhere else in town.

Elyria is a great place to live, work and play, regardless of what you might hear otherwise. And it is really not too bad to ride your bike in – or through – but we do have a ways to go before we can actually say Elyria is a Bicycle-friendly City.

If you want t be a part of making our fair city even better by making it more bike-friendly, consider joining us in our efforts. We promise plenty of sweat, not many tears and hopefully no blood.

As the song goes, “We’ve only just begun.”
