Cycling in Lincoln

In a recent Lincoln Journal Star article, there was a little talk about the city of Lincoln becoming a "premier biking city." There are some tentative plans to make major allowances for bikes along the city streets, splitting it between bicycles and automobiles. There are already some such layouts downtown at least, and now the City Council is considering applying the same idea to N Street. It has its costs but in addition to pleasing cyclists in Lincoln, the city is thinking about how to encourage business and tourism.
I appreciate the bike trails, (which if anyone didn't know, are largely converted railway lines), a lot, personally. I use the MoPac quite a bit. I don't mind saving the gas and getting a little exercise too. I would say those 2 factors, economy and exercise, are the main reasons for most people cycling, but probably not the only ones. If anyone reading this has any other reasons, they should write something under this post!
