Which Road Will You Take ?

Two NDOT reps attended last Thursday’s Muscle Powered meeting; Michelle Gardner-Lilley, Long Range and Small Urban Manager, and Bill Story, coordinator for Safe Routes to School. They were both informative & sincere in requesting involvement from Muscle Powered in the planning process. Thank you Michelle and Bill for taking the time to speak at our meeting.

From the NDOT’s website:

Statewide Transportation Plan (20 year) Survey

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is in the process of updating the Statewide Transportation Plan. Let us know your vision for transportation services (airports, rail, bus, pedestrian and bicycles in the State of Nevada) by filling out our transportation planning survey. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Please take a few minutes of your time to complete this survey. This is a great opportunity to voice your opinion.

Bike Safety

Ghost Bike

This is a post about bike safety mostly because I wanted to post this picture of a ghost bike that I took in Portland last weekend. Ghost bikes are so poignant and sad – this one is on west Burnside. Ride carefully, everyone, and let’s all look forward to a happy future when we don’t have to endanger our lives sharing the road with those heavy, dangerous machines – they always win.
