Lessons Leaned in Creating Bike Master Plans


B' Spokes: Since we have several areas developing Bike Master Plans this article by Richard Layman is a recommended read for those involved in the process. Some highlights from the article:

I often make the point that plans are beginnings, not endpoints.

government is about "sustained efforts."

prepared advocates poised to act are key.

if you want to improve the situation for whatever you are advocating for, YOU NEED AN AGENDA, one that is clear, cogent, and ideally comprehensive and complete.

If you don't identify the gaps, I guarantee they will never be corrected.
[B' Spokes: I'll also echo the importance of this as too often "what can easily be done" takes focus over "what needs to be done."]

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
