A Bike-Friendly City?

Ever since the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge opened in 2005 with bicycle and pedestrian lanes, the heavy use of the gateway span has been an eye-opener. On any given day, hundreds of people can be seen on foot or bike, making their way between Mount Pleasant and the peninsula. This daily human-powered display—highly visible to the cars driving past—is practically a banner proclaiming our city is a place where getting around car-free is possible. But once people pedal past that protected, 2.7-mile stretch, how bike-friendly really is Charleston?
