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
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?
