Guide for cycling enthusiasts available

The 2007 edition of the Carson City Bicycle Route Map and Safe Cycling Guide is available now.

It is a joint effort of Muscle Powered and the Carson City Parks and Recreation Department.

The fold-out map will show important Carson City landmarks, preferred and alternate routes, recreation trails, and planned changes to roadways. Turn it over for cycling safety tips.

The guides are available at various area businesses, city and state government buildings. It identifies various on-street and off-street routes for bicycling and hiking within Eagle Valley, and is free.
