Check the files section of the ok-bike-society yahoo group and you will find a
document entitled "Proposed Bike Route Table--Phase 1 Cost Estimate. Does this
document on the OBS site indicate that some OKC bike advocates have signed on to
support many miles and hundreds of thousands to be spent on bike lanes. What
would it take to get Oklahoma advocates talking the same language? Were any
studies done to substantiate the need for facilities?
I wonder if the OBS has been championing funds for such "improvements," or if
this is just a city engineer's idea of helping...

The OBS has been working to obtain bike facilities, everything from trails to bike racks to racks for bikes on buses ever since I joined in 1987. The OBS...
The file refered to was developed by OKC Planning with input from several bicycling groups, including OBS. It is based on many meetings to review proposed...
Hi Jim, I've been watching state advocates long enough to know that while we are 20 to 30 years behind the "progressive" states, Oklahomans aren't ready,...
Brian: You obviously have me confused with someone who gives a flying fig about you or your agenda so don't bother me with any more of your inane blather. Jim...
I'm no expert - just a guy who likes to ride bikes. But I don't think you're taking into account the increased number of cyclists that these bike friendly...
Hi Colin, Feel free to read any of the links I posted and come to an informed decision on your own. I appreciate the distinction between correlation and...
Hi Brian. I re-read my initial post, and it sounded a little like a personal attack - sorry, no offense meant. I've been thinking about this issue, and I think...
One of the things OKC is planning to do is just designate some streets as bike routes by installing "Bike Route" and "Share the Road" signs. While I have no...
I think it would be beneficial for everyone who has an opinion on this topic, regardless of what side you are on, to find the next planning meeting and voice...
I agree, Matt. However, it is difficult to find out when the planning meetings are held. Also, in the past, they have mostly been held on Tuesday mornings. I...
I wish that there might be some "discussion" of the value (real or imagined) of "Share the Road" signs From my limited cerebral perspective and experience I...
 I always wanted to get a stack of 'Bike Route" signs (with arrows pointing in all directions) and nail one on every sign post I ride by. This would be a...
I like that sign also and wood be very much in favor of the legislative changes that it wood take to make it the "law" The mandate to use "caution" is all...
Complete agreement. This should be the law, printed in the OK Drivers Manual, taught in driver's ed, and enforced by every police officer in the state. Not...
Maybe a group of volunteers from OBS could be formed that can go to and possibly voice concerns at different functions etc. As a group there should always be...
Greg, During the last OBS meeting I agreed to insert myself into the process. I have contacted Lanc Gross of the Planning Committee and will take input from ...
I also sit on a committee with the local council of governments (with at least one other OBS member) so the cyclists voice can be heard there as well. Sent via...
