Day 3, 45m, yeah... kinda wimpy but exploring takes an inordinate amount of time! Rockford, MI is a cool little Michigan tourist town and not a cookie cutter copy of most lakeside Michigan villages. Check out the dam - they turned public works into a park.
I can't say enough about Grand Rapid's bike infrastructure. As soon as I got off the White Pines trail there were bike lanes... plural... as in multiple going each direction with an island separating them from traffic. They even have go-arounds for the traffic circles so bicycles don't have to mingle with cars.
Downtown was nice and I could tell drivers are used to bicycles. I got the sense that GR is trying hard to be hip, but what the heck do I know about hip?
On to Kalamazoo tomorrow and close to Indiana.
