This month, the city striped lanes for two-wheeling travelers on Ingersoll Avenue, a main strip for shopping and dining in Iowa’s capital. This transformation will turn a busy four-lane artery into an accessible two-lane road, with bike lanes on either side. Cyclists are excited to ride the Avenue and residents are eager to see how the new transit option impacts the local businesses. One shop-owner on Ingersoll just happens to be Frank Cownie (pictured), the city’s mayor and an avid cyclist. “We’re very hopeful as business owners that this will be quite a helpful addition,” he told KCCI News.
