Luavull Bikes

A very interesting article, perhaps one of the best, reflecting a potential change in mindset for my fair burg. The CJ today had an article about Louisville becoming a city involved with the CompletetheStreets program. This looks exciting. It's not just constructing or striping bike lanes. Rather, it's a "holistic" attempt at changing a city's culture to reflect transportation that isn't just cars. New road are designed for bike lanes and for greater use of pedestrians and wheelchairs, as well as bikes. Bike lanes are added when possible. No, I'm not a proponent of bike lanes per se. I've commuted for many years without them. But I think a city that is willing to make a statement to become one of only 22 cities in the U.S. to do this. What I like is an emphasis not just on "bike lanes" as added chump change. It's a bolder and more pro-active step to be more. Perhaps another step in the right direction for Luavull and for us at large. "It takes a village beeyatch"
