Bikes on sidewalks! Bike lanes in the door zone. Lots of bike-trucks! Interesting bike-throughs Not many hills. No rain?!
And of course the usual comments at the bottom.
Best wishes for a new year. Nick

Nick,
How do emergency vehicles deal with speed humps? One obvious answer is to take alternate routes that don't have speed humps but what happens when they're bicycle boulevards too?

The video that Nick sent is wonderful. However, sometimes people have trouble imagining that Morgantown could be like Portland.
While looking around on the Street Films site, I found this one: http://www.streetfilms.org/journey-to-pittsburgh-to-walk-bike/ which is about walking and bicycling in Pittsburgh. With Pgh being so close and similar in terrain and climate to Morgantown, I think our audience might be more compelled by the vision it creates. I think you'll enjoy watching it, too,
Happy New Year!
