Show your support for bike projects

Are you sick of being stuck in traffic when you only need to go a
short distance to work? Then, once you finally get there, do you have
to search and search for a parking spot? Do you ever have to take
your
kids a quick mile down the road? Do you or your family members have a
history of high blood pressure? If you answered "yes" to any of these
questions, keep in  mind there is something you can do to improve
these conditions -- ride a bike.

For short trips, bicycling can be a quick and easy way to reduce
traffic congestion and eliminate the need for a parking spot. It can
provide inexpensive transportation for those without a driver's
license or moto r vehicle. Providing bicycles for your children can
eliminate trips for you. And bicycling as a form of physical activity
can play a role in preventing and controlling health problems, such
as
hypertension. There is a problem, though -- the lack of safe bicycle
routes.

Who wants to send their child out on a bicycle knowing he or she does
not have a safe route? Why would we want to use a bicycle as a means
of physical activity when there is not a safe area to ride it? For
these reasons, we need to support our City Council's decisions to
continue funding for "Bicycle Projects."

You can support Bicycle Projects by contacting your Council member
and
telling him/her you support Project Number 1979063 of Bill 14, titled
Bicycle Projects.
