Signage going up in KY for new U.S. Bike Route 21 Route follows much of historic Daniel Boone Trace and feeds into national route connecting Cleveland, OH to Atlanta, GA By Naitore Djigbenou/Chuck Wolfe Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is funding the placement of roadside signage on Kentucky's new U.S. Bicycle Route 21 (USBR) begun in July and is expected to continue through the fall spanning through 10 counties and 15 communities. Ultimately USBR 21, a national bike route, will begin in Cleveland, OH and end in Atlanta, GA. USBR 21, also known as the Daniel Boone Bike Route, begins at the Cumberland Gap and extends 265 miles to the southside of the Ohio River in Maysville, Kentucky.
