More Bikes on the Road

A More Common Sight These days

As I pedal around town I have noticed more bikes parked on porches and by front Steps. More people are riding to work to save on gas, or also on car insurance, tags and maintanance if they no longer own a car. More people are riding bikes simply to get better exercise and to travel farther than walking. The only problem I see is the roads and streets are not keeping up with the increase in bicycle traffic. Us pedalers need more bike paths, lanes and trails and drivers need more education on watching out for bikes. Bikers also are in need of safety on the roads too. I realize with the economy being in bad shape, these badly needed improvements will probably be a long time in comming. I suppose until things get better we all must just try to get along out there, both pedalers and drivers.
