Meanwhile, let’s hear what the bike enthusiasts have to say for themselves. Eric Weis, trail program coordinator for the East Coast Greenway Alliance, a group spearheading development of a 2,900-mile trail connecting cities from Maine to Florida for cyclists and walkers, said, “I would love to be pandered to. Who do I talk to about that?”

On a serious note, Tomasso, a fitness instructor, divided the report’s $4.8-million figure by the state’s 1-million population to derive a per-person cost of $4.80. “Because anyone can run, walk or ride on the extensive greenway system in Rhode Island, it’s the best deal in town,” she wrote. “Where else could one receive a lifetime membership to a fitness facility … for $4.80? In addition, that fee provides unlimited access to family entertainment, local flora and fauna, and tours of Rhode Island’s auspicious place in American history.”
Come to think of it, she has a point. See you on the bike path.
