Trolley system is designed for tourists. Bus system is pretty basic and OK if you live in the city center. Sparse if you live within 5 miles of the city center. Nonexistent if you are more than 5 miles out with maybe two exceptions. From my house, 9 miles south of the Amtrak station, the GVL "taxi" company wanted $70US to pick me up and take me there. If you don't own a car in Greenville County, with the exception of the very expensive city center, you better have a car or motorcycle or you are going nowhere.
From my observations, and others who live here, there are no "cyclists" in Greenville. We are all motorists who ride bikes sometimes. "Cyclists" IMO are people who are committed to cycling and maybe drive a car occasionally. Or never. No matter how flashy your kit may be, when you are driving your car wearing said kit, you are a motorist by definition. Peace!
