Bicycling and Breakfast in Henderson KY

May 4, 2017

May is National Bike Month, and 2017 marks the 200th anniversary of the invention of the bicycle! A German aristocrat is credited with inventing the “hobby horse” in 1817 to keep people moving during a shortage of horses. Weighing in at 50 pounds, the ‘bike’ (using the term very loosely) had two wooden wheels attached to a wooden frame; the riders sat on a leather saddle and pushed the ‘bike’ forward with their feet since there were no gears or pedals. Now that’s a fixie!

Biking – for commuting, racing, paved trail riding, off-road riding, and now the fat-tire phenom, are a bonanza for cyclists and a great way to explore the Henderson County bicycle paths.  Since 1965, more than 1,200 trails have opened on former rail beds – Rails to Trails – throughout the U.S.

Throughout Kentucky and throughout Henderson numerous bike paths and bicycle trail options exist for your enjoyment.
