At our May Shifting Gears event attendees got to experience riding Charlotte's first protected bike lane, the Uptown Cycle Track along 6th Street.

Small groups rode the lane and stopped at educational stations along the way, where planners would explain different safety features of the project. After completing the ride, attendees got to provide feedback on the experience directly to the project planners.
