My name is daniel and I own nigerian forum
I’m an ardent reader of your posts and not just to leave leave without writing a comment this time around, I love the informations you share through this post especially where you wrote ” The biking trend is quickly taking hold of city folks across the globe — much to the delight of the eco-conscious, might I add – and the city has taken notice. Linked below you will find a gift from the NYC Department of City Planning that will lead you to a completely new way to explore each of the five boroughs, all while staying fit and healthy even as you reduce your carbon footprint. ”
Keep it up friend.

Little by little, towns and cities across the U.S. are becoming more aware of how to incorporate biking into the public transportation systems. We can only hope that soon, subways and buses everywhere will be more biker-friendly.

In fact, many states and localities have passed laws requiring that children under the age of 18 wear helmets. While there is not yet a federal law in the U.S. it is widely accepted that safe transport is just as important as “green” transport. Thanks for your comment!

I’ve fallen many times but there was one occacion when my head hit the payment. It was very scary! Thankfully, I was able to quickly stood up with just bruises.

Bailey Sun, 10 Apr 2011 22:52:34 +0000 http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=6964#comment-39630 Biking is a great way to commute for short distances. Biking also needs to be integrated into the larger public transportation system. People need to be able to take their bikes with them on the bus and on the train. And bus and train stations could also help by providing bike lockers at the station and operating bike rental services from the stations. Buses need to be able to take 3 bikes instead of 2, and trains should have a designated spot in each car for stowing bikes. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.
