I was thinking that bflint isn't a rose-sniffing tourist but also doesn't want undue traffic/highway drudgery. As a rider, I avoid "yellow zones" (anything yellow on a map) as much as possible because it is truly unpleasant to ride through the big ones.
Agreed, Louisville is a great town. Was home to a great regional bike gathering called the Kentucky Kickdown, which was awesome when it was held in an artsy bohemian part of town, but it got big enough they moved to more of a campground-style event.

Lexington is a nice university / hospital town. As a rider, I'd avoid its interminable stoplights and traffic, caused by intentionally poor road planning to discourage cars.
Bardstown, on the other hand, is worth stopping and looking around.
