I don't know, i live in Louisville and it is a good place to ride. Downtown has bike lanes and the river road always have cyclist on it. it has become much more cycling friendly in the past 5 years and while some of the roads don't have much of a shoulder the cars keep an eye out for you for the most part but just like anywhere else you need to obey the traffic rules just like as if you were in a car that is when the trouble starts when cyclist run stop lights and signs and ride up along side cars but with a little common sense and good manners Louisville is a great city to cycle in. as long as it isn't 100 degrees like it has been for the last month....
