Bicycle Trail Guides

The late Marshall Kovitz was not only interested in local history, he was an avid bicyclist.  Marshall, with friends, Kathy and Lance Chilton, developed and published trail guides to the city's bike/recreation trails.  The different guides have varying amounts of historical information, as well as information about physical features, natural history, culture, architecture, politics and more.  The first page of the city's trail website has bios of the authors and shows a list of the guides they've done so far.  Generously, they did this work as volunteers for the city, and, in exchange, the city posted the guides on its website.
