Please also ride if you can. At one point David Kleinfelter was trying to find someone to put their bike on a bike rack on a bus and ride the bus in. The information below is a copy of the press release being sent out by TDEC today. It focuses on the environmental benefits. However, our society benefits as well from having walkable bikeable streets, because it builds a better sense of community.
People have a chance to meet each other, become friends, re-new aquaintances.
Crime also goes down when criminals are afraid they will be seen, such as when people are walking and biking to and from homes and businesses. Please help us reclaim our streets by doing what you can to participate in the events described below. As the temperature warms and we see the colorful signs of spring, most us want to spend more time outdoors. Biking is a great way to enjoy the weather and blooming flowers and is a great benefit to the environment. Together, we are promoting the use of bicycles as a transportation option.
