Don't put it that bad. This group is alive and kicking, particularly
after my candidacy...
(this is probably my last post in 4 years)
Well, just assuming...
Suppose I ran for president, and I was serious about cycling, what
would I have to do to deserve your vote?
This article cites some of the things that need to be done to promote
biking...
(notice they are for the revolution too)
The Revolution Will Not Be Motorized
Is Austin finally giving bicyclists a little respect?
'Elkinton has observed a marked rise in transportation-bicycling
interest this year, motivated most strongly, he says, "by the
increasing price of gas and goods."'
1- Tax gasoline to promote bike facilities.
'One question planners already know the answer to is why people avoid
transportation cycling: safety.'
2- Implement bike paths and bike lanes or where necessary implement
slow lanes enforced by speed cameras.
"promote the heck out of it."
3- Promotion, promotion, promotion. Without it, the people won't come
out their cages.
