Route Planning

Posted by Henry Scott on July 19, 2008

Joe Dits wrote an article for today’s South Bend Tribune about resources for riders seeking good local bicycle routes (LINK).

After speaking with him, it occurred to me that it would be useful to have a dedicated page on this website specifically for pointing readers to the relevant resources. Accordingly, I’ve added a new page (with its own tab at the top of this website); the page has a static URL so that it can be conveniently shared with others: http://bikemichiana.org/routes/.

Thanks to Adam and Nate for all of their great work on the map!

An Advocacy Request from Nancy Sawyer

Posted by Henry Scott on July 19, 2008

The following was posted on Pat’s website (thanks for posting the link Nate!) by his wife Nancy:

If you’d like to help me and Patrick right now, please consider how we can make this community more bicycle-friendly and bicycle-safe; a place where both cyclists and drivers can peacefully and safely co-exist. To begin with, community awareness needs to be raised. I want Patrick’s accident to be the catalyst that brings about important changes. Brainstorm what can be done. Please consider writing to the South Bend Tribune’s opinion page on this issue. Here is the contact info:
