Displacing club tennis and golf, cycling is the nouveau riche and nowhere else is it more apparent than in Ashland. Mountain bikes, road bikes, trailers, trikes, recliners--they are all her. The city has very strict enforcement of pedestrian and bicycle lane right of ways, so automobile and RV drivers beware. In addition to the Bear Creek bike path between Ashland and Medford, there's also good bike lane access to Jacksonville and elsewhere within the Rogue River Valley area. These between-town and in-valley routes are generally flat or low slope, so one doesn't need to be a mountain climber, but then there are also some good hill climbs in the area. Summer days can be quite warm, but rarely beyond what a cyclist can bear. There are three well stocked bicycle shops in Ashland that can provide more information and service. I received service to replace a tire at one of them, and found service excellent. Also, there are a number of clubs with websites, such as the one below.
