I am a public employee so I can't really get involved in that way (although I always fill out the on-line surveys the City sends out). As a bike commuter, I go a little VC but prefer segegrated facilities as much as possible. Don't like the feeling of having to go at the speed of speeding trucks and SUVs. I just can't keep up. Otherwise I'm pretty comfortable biking in traffic. The nature of some roads though is that it isn't safe and there is little I can do about it. The militant VC crowd is perhaps battling windmills. I took a bike safety course taught by to VC a few years ago. A bit of a turn off really and I didn't think they would have done much to convince a newby to begin bike commuting.She Rides a Bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269615938898501712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-80608423346768643052010-11-07T15:51:50.722-05:002010-11-07T15:51:50.722-05:00I had no idea and this is a route that I could act...I had no idea and this is a route that I could actually use!!! woo-hoo<br /><br />bring on more cycle tracks<br /><br />do you know if they would allow biking only in one direction on Western Ave ? it would be great to have bidirectional traffic for bikes esp to be able to cross the riverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-22200398281382065052010-11-06T08:03:36.831-04:002010-11-06T08:03:36.831-04:00Ooh!

I kind of want to hug the messenger.<br /><br />Western Ave (theoretically) is perhaps the most important connection to Cambridge and Boston from Allston, Waltham and Watertown. Right now it's a complete disaster and very dangerous. This could encourage a whole new group of people to cycle. Especially since the areas along Western Ave and to the west are very densely populated.Herzognoreply@blogger.com
