FLCC> questions about commuting by bike from downtown to Ithaca College

[David Ruppert]

Hi,

I got this message from someone who will be visiting Ithaca and wants to 
commute from downtown to IC.  If anyone has a suggestion for the best 
commuting route or answers to Carlo's other questions, please respond 
directly to Carlo and copy me.  Thanks.

Dave




Hi,

I dug your name up from a Google search on biking in the Ithaca area. I'm
a graduate student here and will be attending the Finger Lakes
Environmental Film Festival at Ithaca College, which has put me up in the
Holiday Inn. I was wondering if there are bike trails/lanes that connect
the downtown area to Ithaca College and if you would recommend bike shops
downtown?  I'd prefer to bike to Ithaca College, rather than taking a
shuttle. Finally, would I be looking at a "rolling hills" topography from
downtown to IC. Oh, I bike/commute in SF regularly so I'm comfortable with
urban traffic chaos.

Thanks for your time and forgive the unexpected questions but I thought
I'd ask the local mavens,
Carlo Arreglo
