LaHood announces that bikes/bikers will have a voice in transportation planning

[WI_DEM]

(Hard to believe that one of my favorite members of the cabinet is a republican, Ray LaHood)


Today, I want to announce a sea change. People across America who value bicycling should have a voice when it comes to transportation planning. This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of non-motorized.

We are integrating the needs of bicyclists in federally-funded road projects. We are discouraging transportation investments that negatively affect cyclists and pedestrians. And we are encouraging investments that go beyond the minimum requirements and provide facilities for bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities.

5. Just FYI, operators (riders) of human powered (pedaled) cycles are called cyclists.

AFAIK, "bikers" is referring to riders of powered cycles.
