Davis has been voted one of the most bicycle friendly cities in the United States. It was the first city in the U.S. to have bicycle lanes and bicycle signals on traffic lights, and has more than 100 miles of bikeways. Pretty impressive for a town that is only about 11 square miles in size! In today’s show we meet Bob Bowen, who is on the board of directors of the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame, located in downtown Davis. Hear about the long relationship of Davis with bicycling, and the story of how the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame moved to Davis in 2010. Then learn about New Jersey, the original home of the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame where the oldest bicycle race in the country, The Tour of Somerville, has been held since 1940.
