Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), co-chair of the Congressional Bicycle Caucus, greeted delegates on Wednesday with a call for an annual lobby day to bring together bicycling interests and members of Congress. District of Columbia Mayor Anthony Williams also addressed the gathering of more than 170 advocates, bicycle industry representatives, and agency staff - offering specific, tangible goals for bicycle accommodations in D.C. U.S. EPA Administrator Christie Todd Whitman encouraged delegates to continue the fight for bicycling at the state and local levels. Thursday, Lobbying Day, Congressman James Oberstar (D-MN), ranking minority member of the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, rallied the crowd, and sent delegates to meet with their members of Congress. Participants discussed issues ranging from bicycling in national parks and bicycle commuting tax benefits, to safe routes to school programs and reauthorization of TEA-21. The Summit finished the week with comments from State Representative Rick Geist, Majority Chairman of the Pennsylvania House Transportation Committee (R-79th) and a ride with members of the Congressional Bicycle Caucus.

The bill had initially gained the support of the Transportation Committee several weeks ago, but advocates went to work to turn the situation around. According to Jeff Miller of BCM, "On Monday morning the committee was buzzing with all the calls and e-mails they got and other legislators were stopping in to urge them to fix this bad legislation." The Committee then voted to table the bill and it was killed the next day. On the "child's right to bike and walk" front, BCM had worked with representatives to draft a bill protecting kids' rights to walk and bike to school (L.D. 621). BCM had been concerned that some Maine schools forbid kids from walking or bicycling to school. According to Miller, "Opponents to our legislation argue that it is a local issue and that schools should be able to dictate whether kids bike or walk based on their safety concerns. While concerned about safety, we believe that banning biking and walking do nothing to solve the problem." The bill is still being considered. AMERICANS AND THEIR HIGHWAYS -> According to a new report from FHWA, America's drivers are becoming more satisfied with their major highways but, to some extent, less so with the overall highway system than they were in 1995. The study, "Moving Ahead: The American Public Speaks on Roadways and Transportation in Communities," found that 65% were satisfied with the highways they travel most (15% more than in 1995) but 20% were unhappy with "the highway system" (up from 14%). Drivers suggested they wanted more improvements to "traffic flow, continued improvements in pavement conditions and more effective ways to deal with or to decrease traffic congestion in work zones. Citizens also want highway projects that are more sensitive to local communities and transportation enhancements in their communities such as transit services and bicycle and pedestrian facilities." On other topics, about 60% of the respondents felt that the system did a "fair to poor" job of serving the needs of "most people," including those with disabilities, and children and young adults who do not drive._ And, with respect to their choice of where to live, the most important factor was" ease of driving" (39%) but the presence of bikeways, paths, and sidewalks (26%) and the availability of good public transportation (23%) were also important considerations. Source: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/reports/movingahead.pdf GUNS VS CARS: WHAT THREATENS AMERICAN KIDS MOST? -> According to a Mar. 26th New Republic column by Gregg Easterbrook, "My kids attend public school in the suburbs, so, like any other parent, I cringed upon hearing about the two high school murders last week in Santee, California. But though school shootings are a shock and an outrage, I don't stay up at night worried that they endanger my kids: Overall, school violence has been declining for a decade, and homicide by adolescents has been falling for nearly as long. When I worry about my kids' safety, I think about far more likely threats: drugs, driving young--or getting hit by a car while crossing the street. "In 1999, the year of the Columbine massacre, 28 students nationwide were killed in schools, while 840 kids under age 20 were killed when struck by cars as they walked, often to school. But, although school shootings spark a national outcry and huge government spending, street-crossing deaths draw no notice and no action. Pedestrian deaths are deemed, well, pedestrian..."

"I've been reading Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura's latest book, _Do I Stand Alone?_ (2000), and he has some surprisingly forthright things to say about our over-dependence on the automobile (page 153): "I think we'd better find ways to overcome our dependency on foreign oil in particular, and fossil fuels in general. We probably could have grown beyond our dependence on fossil fuels a long time ago, if it weren't for the automotive industries. They've stopped at nothing to push us into cars, and limit our transportation options. It's yet another case of the power brokers of government getting in the say of what's best for us." And on light rail: "I'm convinced that one of the best things we can do to prepare for the transportation needs of the future is to invest in light-rail systems. Eventually, we are going to be forced to find alternatives to combustion-engine vehicles; it makes sense that we should start working on those alternatives now. "The federal government is offering funding to states who want to put in light-rail systems, and from what I can see, Minneapolis is desperately in need of one." Gov. Ventura may be reached at: email: http://www.mainserver.state.mn.us/governor/email_form.html home page: http://www.mainserver.state.mn.us/governor/default.html Riley can be reached at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or at his Autoholics Anonymous website: http://www.zzapp.org/rileygea/tortoise/autohol.htm LONG BEACH BIKESTATION CELEBRATES 5TH ANNIVERSARY -> According to a recent news release, Long Beach Bikestation celebrated 5 years turning bicycle transportation into a reality yesterday. The nation's first such bicycle-parking facility, the Bikestation invited one and all to help make their birthday cake disappear as they celebrate their success. "By helping improve air quality, freeing up parking spaces for those who must drive and promoting healthier lifestyles, the Bikestation has made significant contributions to the community since its inception," said Los Angeles County Supervisor, Don Knabe. Here are a few Long Beach Bikestation facts and figures: - Cost $125,000 to build, roughly the same as 6 stalls for autos in a typical parking structure - Has provided over 50,000 free valet bicycle parks, resulting in the elimination of over 300,000 miles of auto travel - Can park up to 150 bikes a day - Developed a free electric bicycle program for residents and those employed in Long Beach After analyzing Long Beach's success, many other cities now want bike-parking facilities for their communities. Palo Alto and Berkeley, CA added theirs in 1999, Denver and Boulder, CO are due to open theirs in 2002 and plans are being reviewed by the cities of Pittsburgh, Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, and Cambridge, MA.

The idea behind Car-Free Day is to encourage people to think about the problem of motor vehicles and traffic in cities as they try to get around in a 'car-lite' environment, according to The Commons, the Paris-based co-organizers of the event. "While The Commons and Seattle-based Earth Day Network are leading the Earth Car-Free Day effort, the event has no official sponsor, uses no tax dollars and is 100 percent volunteer-based. The grass-roots approach is intended to empower citizens to take the battle against global warming into their own hands. Carbon dioxide, the most prevalent of the greenhouse gases that cause the Earth to warm, is spewed primarily from more than 700 million cars that travel the world's roadways..."

The program -- the first of its kind in the city -- will focus on intersections near San Francisco City Hall and downtown." Atle Erlingsson, spokesman for CSAA, says "This is going to be a tremendous tool. Pedestrians aren't going to have to guess how much time they have to run across the street." The City will be retrofitting 14, 10 of which will be funded by CSAA and four by the city at a cost from $5,000 to $7,000 per intersection. The signals are part of a citywide effort to improve conditions for pedestrians. "In San Francisco last year, 32 people were killed, and more than 800 are injured annually in pedestrian accidents. So far this year, three pedestrians have died while trying to cross the street..."

This information was collected by an innovative technique marrying global positioning system (GPS) technology and an old form of transportation: the bicycle. A GPS receiver mounted on a bicycle was the p rimary means of collecting data on more than 4,000 miles of street and over 900 miles of sidewalk, which were subsequently entered into an ArcView database. Additionally, handicap accessibility, width, pavement type, and condition were noted for each sidewalk segment. The contractor, W.K. Dickson, is applying for a national engineering excellence award for the project. Prior to this project's completion, municipalities in Wake County either had no accurate mapping of sidewalks in their area or had no maps showing linkages outside of their jurisdiction. CAMPO is now planning an update mechanism for this database as well as developing a web-based bicycle and pedestrian facility map."

One study suggests that parents spend twice as much time behind the wheel during the week as they do with their children. Viewed merely as a physical flow, a traffic jam seems as simple as water moving more slowly through a constriction-a problem that appears easy to fix. But even adding a lane to a highway, for reasons no one quite understands, sometimes creates new tie-ups. For decades, the behavior of heavy traffic has stymied a think tank's worth of highway engineers, city planners, fluid dynamicists and social scientists. Traffic, like weather and the stock market, turns out to be surprisingly complex and devilishly unpredictable..." http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian/issues01/apr01/traffic.html BERGEN COUNTY NJ LINKS TRAILS WITH BRIDGES -> According to a Mar. 28th story in the Bergen County Record, plans are underway to link nearly 11 miles of existing trails in the area via three new bridges and an interchange underpass. The multi-million dollar project has been a priority with local cyclists since 1991, when they began pressuring County Freeholders to make it happen. To get to this point, however, required obtaining easements, condemning one small property, getting State EPA approvals, and, of course, securing the money (over $1.3 million). Construction is scheduled to start in approximately 2 months. As Linda Krauss, president of the 1,600-member Bicycle Touring Club of North Jersey, put it, "It's a great way to get kids out on their bicycles in a safe environment. For younger riders, it's a great way to start out."

Good news for car manufacturers, like GM, Toyota, and others, who are gearing up to feed the new frenzy. And the Chinese government is "spending like never before on highways, broad urban avenues, and landscaped expressways." They are also trying to boost car sales with "cheaper loans, lower taxes, and regulatory changes." Car ownership is well beyond the reach of most Chinese, and only a small number of China's 1.3 billion people drive. But a new class of entrepreneurs and professionals have taken to the car with a vengeance and the number of private cars grows by 30% a year. Three million are already on the road and sales in China's financial centers are climbing by 200 percent a year. For China's cities, the results are predictable, if alarming: traffic jams and some of the world's worst smog. "Beijing's narrow lanes are stuffed with honking, exhaust-belching traffic at rush hour. A police radio station broadcasts bulletins on how to avoid chronic congestion. In the countryside, roads are devouring scarce farmland, environmentalists warn..."

Since the City striped the lanes, bike use on Valencia Street has risen by over 140% (from 88/hour to 215/hour). San Fransisco's Board of Supervisors are expected to make the test permanent within the next two weeks and, eventually, to expand the system dramatically. According to Supervisor Mark Leno, "A citywide system is essential." At a recent hearing on the project, more than 50 cyclists showed up in support of creating a more complete system. "Valencia Street is wonderful, but to really make bicycling an attractive option, we need to fill in the gaps," said Leah Shahum, of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. "We're not trying to have a bike lane on every street, but we do want to connect the dots."

THE BICYCLE TAKES OFF: 1865 - 1900 FROM BONESHAKER TO BOOM A colorful traveling exhibition that "traces the elusive quest for a practical human-powered vehicle, from fanciful 'self-acting' carriages of the 18th century to the stunning surge of the modern bicycle in the 1890s. In between, special attention is devoted to the breakthrough 'boneshaker' bicycle (late 1860s) and its majestic offspring, the fleet but flawed highwheeler (1870s and 1880s)." Currently the exhibition is in Lexington, MA, (until APRIL 22, 2001) then it goes to Norwalk, CT, for a June 2 through Sept. 16th stay. It will be in New York City from October to March and then will travel to Springfield, MA, for an April 1 to June 30 showing. http://www.thebicycletakesoff.org R-E-S-O-U-R-C-E-S ------------------------------------------------------------ -> "RETROFITTING SUBURBIA" A lecture by Victor Dover of DoverKohl that says, in part "...The city-form experiment gone awry is suburbia.
