Why is this area so great for biking you might ask? Well let’s see what the USA today had to say
Designated as both a League of American Bicyclists Bicycle-Friendly Community and IMBA Ride Center, Harrisonburg is becoming a haven for anyone with a garage full of bikes. In a demonstration of partnership, the City of Harrisonburg teamed up with Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition to bring purpose-built bike trails of all levels to downtown Harrisonburg. In addition to the Rocktown trails, townsfolk can ride one of three epics, Massanutton Resort’s flow trails, or spend a day barely scratching the surface of the George Washington National Forest. The town even comes together to celebrate trails and trailwork during the annual Shenandoah Festival. svbcoalition.org![1378652_544846378920568_589069716_n](https://svbcoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/1378652_544846378920568_589069716_n.jpg)
We know we are on the map for mountain biking but how about all other types of biking and walking? Right now walkscore.com considers Harrisonburg a “Car-Dependent city” with most errands run by car. Think we can change that?
