Being a bicyclist in Jackson is not always easy. Rude cars tailgate bicyclists; they honk, they weave and sometimes insult or threaten even the most kindly of two-wheelers. While Ridgeland and Madison are actively installing bike-friendly infrastructure, Jackson seems content with offering bikers nothing but exhaust fumes. It will probably take hundreds of bikers overflowing sidewalks and crowding roads before the capital city will take notice. So put down that chicken leg and buy a bike. Forget gas prices while the breeze runs through your hair and calories run off your skin.
