First bicycle plan for Asheville

The city of Asheville adopted its first comprehensive bicycle plan for the city in February 2008. Council’s adoption of the plan was hailed as a coup by the cycling community. The city’s public hearing drew a large turnout, with helmet-clad supporters seated in the second-floor Council chamber and filling the downstairs overflow room, where the meeting is broadcast on television.
