New rules of the road Cyclists movement on a roll The US is experiencing a growiung crisis among bicyclists, acording to the Allentown representative of a national bicyclesafety organization. In addition to the usual problems associated with sharing the roads with automobiles,"There is now increasing concern over the high incidence of accidents on paths restricted to use by pedestrians, skateboarders, and other bikers,' said Kathy Olson Director of the Allentown CCS Teaching riding etiquete and designat ing roads as multi-vehicle highways are inexpensive and practical and can alleviate the majority of hazards bikers face Ms. Olsen declared. According to Olson, a city which sponsors 3 annual cycling events and supports the county's alternative transportation program, there is not a single bike lane. We need to think about doing something to reverse the current situation. And now that we have the town backing us, there's no reasons to remain silent regarding the lack of bicycle and pedestrian facilities in our community; added Director Olson Right now the city is drafting a transportation plan, and Olsen goes on to say:
"There isn't one provision to accomodate bikers, perhaps its an oversight -- or perhaps it's the lack of bikers in the city council. We can safely assume that the director of the Allentown Planning Organization doesn't bike (at least, not outdoors)." The cycling group plans to go straight to the governors office and consult a state bicycle coordinator. Olson enphasized that With some pressure she will work with local government to effect the amount of rode money going to non-highway programs. But unless we speak up, we'll go unnoticed.
