BIKING IN THE BIGGEST LITTLE CITY JOHN MCCANN R eno, NV and its sister city Sparks are located along the Truckee River in an area referred to as the Truckee Meadows. Aside from the zephyrs (west winds), it can be a really great place to 18 BICYCLE FRIENDLY AMERICA ride a bicycle. Most of the city is relatively flat, although we are bounded by mountains to the east and west, and generally there are more than 300 days per year without any precipitation. Additionally, the area has a ton of great groups doing amazing work to make cycling of all kinds more accessible to all people.
