Are snowmobiles allowed on it? Dogsleds?
Are “Reindeer Crossing” signs posted?
Those questions came to mind when I heard there’s a bike lane to North Pole.
Now you know that I missed something: One end of the path ends in North Pole, not the North Pole.
Even though I got 100 on a test of Alaska geography (at least, that’s how I remember it), I didn’t know that when you remove the definite article, you get the name of a city in The Last Frontier.
Anyway, there is a new bike lane connecting the city, known for its year-round Christmas displays, to Fairbanks.
If I ever get to Alaska, I’ll ride the lane—named for local cycling enthusiast Matt Glove, who lost his life sun a commute—just so I can boast that I cycled to the North Pole. Anyone who didn’t get 100 on Sister Virginia’s Alaska Geography test in 1969 (if I remember correctly) will be none the wiser!
