[BBTC Ride_calendar] bicycle safety
by Raleigh Fehr 10 May '05

10 May '05

On the advocacy front, the following is being passed around by local advocacy groups across the country. The idea is to get all states to adobt the "complete streets" policies making them safe for cyclists and pedestrians. Contact your representative today. Raleigh ACTION ALERT: IMPORTANT LONG-TERM MEASURE FOR BIKE SAFETY Please make a quick call to your Senators ASAP Dear Adventure Cycling Member, We don't write to you very often to ask you to call or e-mail your elected representatives -- but a great opportunity has presented itself and we need your help. It will only take a moment and could do wonders for bicycling over the next five years. We ask that you call or e-mail your Senators NOW and urge them to support Senator Tom Harkin's amendment to require states to create "complete streets" policies. These policies will give bicyclists and pedestrians a leg-up in how our State Departments of Transportation (DOT) plan for all users of our streets. The amendment, which will likely be proposed on Wednesday, May 11, will be budget-neutral (i.e. no new federal revenues needed) and holds the potential to dramatically improve transportation for all Americans. For Adventure Cyclists, this proposal will provide a great opportunity to work collaboratively with DOTs on our country's highways and other roads. It could also help us in establishing a federally-recognized National Bicycle Route Network that will help provide better, safer routes for bicycle travellers. Please call or e-mail your Senator by 5:00 PM EDT tomorrow (Tuesday, May 10). At this point, calls are preferable (more personal) but e-mails are fine. A list of contacts and e-mail addresses for your Senators can be found on the America Bikes website: http://www.americabikes.org/Transportation%20LAs.asp I've included a few more details below. If you would like to see the Senator's Complete Streets amendment, with an additional fact sheet, it is available at http://www.americabikes.org/Harkin%20bill.asp Thank you so much for supporting bicycling and bicycle travel. If you can help by supporting this amendment, we would greatly appreciate it. Best wishes, Jim Sayer - Executive Director Adventure Cycling Association Inspiring people of all ages to travel by bicycle. (800) 755-2453 x201 toll-free, (406) 721-1776 x201 phone, (406) 721-8754 fax http://www.adventurecycling.org Adventure Cycling will rarely send legistlative action alerts, however this is an unusual oppurtunity to help bicycling at the federal level. The Federal Transportation Authorization Bill is considered only once every 6 to 7 years. Nevertheless, to unsubscribe from future legistlative action alerts, reply to this email with "Unsubscribe" in the subject and; your email address in the message.

by Raleigh Fehr 09 May '05

09 May '05

Over the course of the last 6-8 months UDOT and a group of cyclists have been working on getting Cycling Share the Road signs up throughout the state. The first spots to get these signs placed will be Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. UDOT is planning to do this statewide. This is a great thing for the cycling community and UDOT asks that we (the cycling community) please come and share in the unveiling of the signs: Saturday May 14, 2005 1:00-1:30 pm Mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon Park and Ride Please come with your bikes to show your support!! There should be plenty of time to get in one of the club scheduled rides for that day and still make the unveiling. This is a cycling advocacy event not a formal ride. Thanks. Raleigh
