Ride the Drive means different things to different people. Yes, there are fewer businesses on this route, but there are more parks. From the press release, it sounds like there will be lots of activities in the parks. Maybe even vendors, games, and other things for kids and adults to do.
And Rosa Rd and Segoe are pretty busy roads that most people aren't comfortable riding on - especially with kids. I find one of the fun parts of Ride the Drive is to see parts of Madison that I don't normally see. It's also great to see families and residents enjoying a truly carefree day in their own neighborhood. So this is just another part of the city to see and watch west side residents come out on their streets without worrying about cars.
