Bicycling downtown — is it worth it?


I got some interesting feedback to my Tuesday City Talk column: Bicycling in downtown Savannah: Is it worth it?

I tried there to be honest about the costs and some of the hassles — including three times I was a victim of theft (one bike, one seat, one headlight).

I also tried to convey a little bit of the sense of wonder that regular bike riders feel downtown.

Another issue that I would have played up, in addition to savings in time and money: the general health benefits. Too often, running errands on my bicycle accounts for all the exercise I get for days on end.
