Heads up! Construction downtown at Mass Ave and College Ave. Safety improvements (for all road users) are being implemented along with a paving project. There are motor vehicle detours, but the Cultural Trail is expected to remain open, along with nearby businesses. Be careful and give yourself some extra time to get through the construction, which is expected to be complete before the end of November.

I tried Bike Buddies, which matches new cyclists with mentors who show you how to ride your bike in Indy.
