Not Quite Norwegian...Yet

Since leaving in 2012 the City of Houston has undergone some positive changes; downtown has been revitalized with shops, cafes, etc., older venues have been restored and converted into museums and other attractions, green spaces have been created, and bike/walking trails have been added.  Houston is not at the Norwegian level of love and acceptance of walking/bike trails but the city now has 128 miles of trails/paths.  Along with dedicated paths bike-share lanes can be found on many streets.  Most importantly the attitude has started to shift away from seeing cyclists as hinderances.  The network of paths now allow riders/walks to safely get in riding miles, commute or go for a leasurly ride.  The paths provide the user with some interesting and new views and perspectives of the city.

I am not sure who to credit but it has been a pleasure being able to get out to see and enjoy our city.
