Posted in Talk of Alaska

Bicyclists and motor vehicle drivers are going to have to learn how to co-exist. The number of people choosing people powered transportation is growing, not just for health or economic reasons, but also because it’s kinder to the planet. But more bike riders means more risk. A progress report on planning for increased bicycle traffic will be the subject on the next Talk of Alaska, from APRN.
