The Calumet-Sag Trail, according to basic analysis provided by the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center’s website, http://www.bicyclinginfo.org/bikecost/ could bring almost $5 million annually in recreation-related income to the corridor, $176,000 in health savings, and could create almost 1400 new cyclists. I used the "mid-estimate" numbers too, not the "high-estimate." I'll save those numbers for the newspapers and politicians. ;-)
