Cars, motorcycles, and bicycles


Over 100 Bicycles encountered "in the wild" on the VA site (January 2015). Many more are probably parked in garages, inside buildings, out of sight. While the voice of those who ride a bike may be hard to hear, these images testify to a high level of bicycle use.

Bicycles are a solution for a large number of ills that affect our society and our lives. It is important to give them a safe space on our roads, and to encourage more people to use healthy wheels.

Without the right leadership, without good planning, this can be difficult to achieve. Those who do not see the whole picture are then left to pick up the pieces. The outcome is often very sad in so many ways. Instead of encouragement, we have prohibitions.
