In case you forgot, May is Bike Month. And while cycling as a form of transportation can be wheelie fun, it can also be a little intimidating to ride through town or share the road.

Reader Kevin H. reached out to find out: where can we find the longest, safest bike trail and other similar recommendations in Lexington? While this list + this map highlight dozens of trails, we want to hear from you.

While we wait to hear from you, get a grip on a few of these upcoming, bike-friendly community events.
