Jacksonville Ranked a "worst" City for Cycling...

Ok well I live in St. Johns and trust me I miss my 5speed car, but as I have to go downtown and southside everyday and haul tools, boats(occasionally) trailers, and odds and ends there
I just cant throw any of that on a bike and expect to be anyplace

You do have a point there.  I tried to throw a sack from Wal-Mart on my shoulder and fell off my dang bike, busted my knee.

Therein lies the other problem. Jacksonville and the surrounding area is the epitome of "suburban sprawl". It's not that people who could/would be bicycling to and fro don't want to. It's that they logistically can't.

I know I can't. As a mobile computer guy, I live in riverside, office based in the Southpoint area, and spend my day all over town. But if I had a job at say LPS or Fidelity, you bet your bottom dollar I'd be biking my booty to the office every day.

Now if we had a good transportation system, it wouldn't be a huge problem.
