Alaska is known for trail sports, from backpacking to sled dog racing, that began as practical means of transportation. That’s happening again. More and more people are using bikes and feet to get to work, even in Anchorage, with our car-oriented urban design. On the next Outdoor Explorer, we’ll talk about building an active transportation network that can help human-powered travelers stay safe, and take advantage of all the health benefits.
