Southern Foood and biking. Living the life!

I am happy that this delicious meal of fried catfish, collard greens, cornbread, mac & cheese, and sweet tea was followed by 5 hours of urban biking. I rented a bike from the hostel for $10. The weather was sunny but brisk; outside the city the wind was strong. I rode in all directions. Found the long strip of houses which serve as record labels for the thousands of never be country stars and tote such talent signing as Kings of Leon.
Through the city the re were well marked bike lanes. Loads of signnage 'Music City Bike Way' and 'Bike Parking'. The trail had a bike lane thru town. And then a super wide bike/walking brick sidewalk which led far out of the city. One bridge had been converted to a pedestrian bridge. Crossing over brought you to a trail around the stadium then down past factories and past gold courses and long parks. There was rarely a time I felt threatened by vehicles. and all of the buses local and the free city loop bus had bike racks. But where were the other riders?
