Bicycling Addresses Urban Congestion, Public Health

Here’s a report on the increased use of bicycling in the U.S., pointing out that the demographic of white guys is the only one that isn’t experiencing huge growth. Hey, I’m trying to do my part!

A gating factor, understandably, is concerns for safety, which itself suggests that we would do well to expand our commitment to building bike lanes, making it more obvious to everyone that bicycling is an important component in our overall transportation mix, especially as a tool to relieve urban congestion.

And here’s another wrinkle: Emcycle. Since we want to encourage bicycling but we’re concerned about safety, this represents a pretty cool solution. If anyone wishes to know more, please let me know.
