The number of student bicycle commuters at Marion Cross has grown as Bike to School Day has become an institution. Events like these might also help show the constituency and thus build the political will that is needed to adequately fund the type of infrastructure improvements that would be needed to support 200 kids biking through a Vermont village without a police escort.Going Greenhttp://www.goinggreenvt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363988.post-22378879468289812342009-08-05T19:16:56.941-04:002009-08-05T19:16:56.941-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Beckahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05064386218617698227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363988.post-39572314122530805972009-05-20T09:25:34.672-04:002009-05-20T09:25:34.672-04:00Don, I actually agree -- there's something fundamentally wrong about perpetuating the myth that biking is "an event" that needs to involve road closures and much fanfare. The whole point should be that bikers be accommodated like any other group of commuters, with a safe route on safe roads with drivers that respect their presence. We shouldn't need a police escort.thingwarblerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01385544444186008796noreply@blogger.com
