Have You Ever Wanted to Rapel Down a Skyscraper? Now is Your Chance
Not only can you indulge your thrill-seeking impulses by rappelling a 30-foot building, but you can raise money for charity as well.
An ambitious plan calls for building new routes connecting existing bike trails to create one, continuous bike path from Florida to Maine.
What may be the longest bike path in the world is in the works — stretching the entire length of the Eastern United States coast, from Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida.
When finished, it will connect 25 major cities and 16 states. The nonprofit group is working with communities and states along the route to build the connector sections, which would be maintained by local governments.
When it's completed, you should be able to ride the entire length in about two months — by pedaling 50 miles a day.
The project is about 31 percent complete, Dennis Markatos-Soriano, executive director of ECGA, told CityLab. He estimates it will be ready to ride within four years.
