Gainesville trails unclean, unsafe
By Scott Paterson | Aug. 31, 2009Like many students living in Gainesville, I love biking, especially mountain biking. Over the summer I went on a road trip across the country. I got to do some great mountain biking. My favorite location from the trip was a small town in Colorado called Durango. If you ever get a chance to go mountain biking there, you will get to go on some great trails. What you won't experience is a large homeless population living in tents on the bicycle trails.
