GREENSBORO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION RECOGNIZES BICYCLE SAFETY
MONTH

GREENSBORO, NC – Friday, September 5, 2008 – With the increase of
bicycles and motor vehicles sharing our roadways, Greensboro
Department of Transportation has recognized the need for additional
focus on bicycle safety and has designated September as Bicycle
Safety Month. Following a summer of record gas prices, more people
are turning to alternative forms of transportation including bicycle
use. Although bicycle safety is a year-round responsibility, this
event will allow GDOT to place special emphasis on the laws, rules
and responsibilities associated with using pedal power. Applicable to
bicyclists and motorists alike, a number of events will take place
this month with the goal of educating and encouraging safe cycling.
For a full list of related activities and other bicycling
information, visit the city's bicycling website at

The Greensboro Department of Transportation (GDOT) seeks to increase
public safety and mobility through the effective planning and
delivery of transportation services and operation of municipal
transit. For more information about GDOT, contact us at (336) 373-
