You may have seen the latest article in the Greenville News this morning about the Swamp Rabbit Tram Trail, which will soon run from downtown Greenville to Travelers Rest. Ty Houck, the newly hired Director of Greenways for the county, is one of the people quoted in the article. For those of you who don’t already know Ty, I want to take this opportunity to briefly introduce him.
Ty recently moved to the Greenways Director position after serving12 years with the South Carolina State Park Service. Many of you in the local cycling community already know him because he served nearly six of those years as Park Manager of Paris Mountain State Park. Two of Ty’s top priorities in his new position will be getting the Swamp Rabbit Tram Trail built and creating a Greenville County Greenways Master Plan. The Swamp Rabbit will create the first greenway link with a paved trail from Travelers Rest to the greenways inside the city limits of Greenville.

Hi, there. I came across your blog while searching for information about biking in Greenville. I'm moving to the city in late August from the Netherlands and am curious just how bike friendly the city really is. Its likely that I'll be living in an apartment complex near the intersection of Beattie Huff Highway and Lily Street and I'm wondering if the area from there up to Furman University might be bike friendly (to/from work). Any info you can offer is a great help!

I responded offline to Brian, but I have never ridden toward Furman from the area he mentioned (northwest of town). If anyone else rides in that area, please comment.
