When I was a lad, Happy Hollow Park was not especially improved. And since I have left the area, it would seem that time, energy (including thinking energy), and money have gone into making improvements. There's now an easy back route into the park suitable for pedestrians and bicycles. Instead of a long round-a-bout journey, I can go from my mom's house a short distance and then descend into the park. A little jaunt and then climb back out into an older section of West Lafayette. It looks nice now. But let's not forget that there is wintertime in Indiana. Then I would not want to be outside riding in this area.
And then there's MBU: massively bike unfriendly. One of these days I'm going to get nabbed by a cop for something here, I can just tell. Riding on the sidewalk perhaps. I'll just flash my Florida I.D. and play stupid, I suppose.
