Hello all,
"It’s almost impossible to ride a bicycle in Morgantown for reasons other than exercise. Choosing to walk is often faster and less taxing on one’s body than attempting to pedal uphill or navigate through dangerous streets and intersections. Though Morgantown may be the exception, other cities in West Virginia are adopting bike-friendly policies in order to promote healthier lifestyles and transportation alternatives."
I'd like to encourage anyone on our board to read and respond to this editorial as a letter to the editor. I would be interested in hearing any opinions you all would have regarding whether we should respond as the bike board in unison.
This is a good opportunity for us to educate the university system on the realities of cycling in Morgantown. It's interesting: seems almost as if they wrote this specifically to provoke a response from us.
Ride safe,
Drew
