OK, Nick. Would you prefer, "All Morgantown residents can enjoy bicycling safely and fearlessly anywhere, anytime, for any reason."? What do others think?

Frank, I like it as written. I've had thoughts about condensing it, but I wouldn't want to say anything that would delay approval. I'd like to get on to making it happen. So I guess it's compelling me already! Nick
/All Morgantown residents can enjoy bicycling safely and fearlessly anywhere, anytime, for any reason. Morgantown residents choose to ride bicycles for transportation as well as recreation. Our state and our nation recognize Morgantown for the benefits of bicycling to our health, our environment, our economy and our quality of life./
Perhaps I'm steamrolling on this. I'm trying to bring it to closure. However, if this vision statement is not clear and if it doesn't compel you to act to realize it, then it is a failure. If any one of us feels that "This is Frank's vision statement and not mine", it is a failure. If this is what you think, please reply to this message, either to the whole Bike Board or to me personally. I will continue shaping this until it is clear and every member of the Board, including the 8 members who have been silent, adopts it as his or her own. Or, I will turn it over to anyone who thinks they can do it better. Please reply.
