The Bicyclist Safety Act has been signed by the governor, and will take effect July 1.

Kudos to Radford

The Roanoke Times recently featured an editorial   supporting Radford, Virginia’s efforts to step up maintenance efforts to  keep their trails clean, painted and  in good working order.

It seems that far too many localities make at least token gestures to paint stripes and build bike paths and trails only to see them quickly covered with glass, debris and trash,  making them dangerous and unusable.

Good job Radford.  Perhaps other localities in Virginia might follow your example.

  • Yeh, this was a great editorial. I especially liked the closing statement, “Common-sense safety measures are neither difficult nor expensive. They require only a commitment to supporting bikes & recognizing that cars & trucks are not the only vehicles on the roads.”
