Let's see... no bike lanes (may be an advantage), generally oblivious motorists (better than hostile, I suppose), no real trails that go anywhere, poorly maintained roads. The only real bear, though, is you're not allowed to ride across most of the bridges over the James river, which bisects the city. You have to dismount and walk your bike on the sidewalk. One of the downtown bridges actually has a bike lane, but I'm sure they'll make it into an extra car lane eventually. I suppose I should be thankfull the bridges at least have sidewalks.

Very little, if any, bicycle infrastructure here. But I like it anyway; it isn't that bad a place to ride.
