Central Avenue North of Bethany Home will need the support of the bicycle community.

But where the rubber meets the road, National Bike Challenge, Arizona is currently ranked 40 (http://www.endomondo.com/campaign/national, “Leaderboard” tab – “States”). And in a May 14 webinar, Understanding and Shaping Transportation Performance Measures, Part II: Current Data Collection Methods and Exploring What's Possible, LAB’s Darren Flusche mentioned that they will be Capturing and Using Data of the National Bike Challenge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RmjcwRiNg8&feature=youtu.be (Tuesday, June 4 webinar for advocacy orgs?).

I tell others that I'm not talking about shifting bicycle gears but instead shifting attitudes. I no longer want to ride as I first did when Brett was killed (by a driver under the influence of sleeping pills who received the proverbial slap on the wrist and a $1000 fine for violating the 3 foot passing law) because I am afraid of orphaning my children. I decided to combine my love of teaching (I was a teacher for 10 years before my kids were born) with Brett's love of cycling, to educate others about cycling safety and awareness. It's time to stop the cycle of senseless and PREVENTABLE "accidents" that kill and injure so many innocent people. I hope to meet you in person sometime (perhaps at the Not One More rally on 5/19?)<br /><br />Take care,<br />Kim Saks<br />Widow, mom, & founder of the Brett Saks Foundation<br />www.gearupaz.org<br /><br />P.S. I am looking for a cycling expert to speak to families at the first Brett Saks Safety Festival on 9/30/12 at Tumbleweed Park in Chandler. Know anyone? :)kimsakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13355194296874516923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582537199581174703.post-37492131444184393792012-04-20T13:10:51.434-07:002012-04-20T13:10:51.434-07:00And that's Dr. Bob Richards to Randy's lef...And that's Dr. Bob Richards to Randy's left.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046700914767404315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582537199581174703.post-71915480200285910212012-04-08T11:42:42.266-07:002012-04-08T11:42:42.266-07:00Ahwatukee - just north of East Ranch Circle South ...Ahwatukee - just north of East Ranch Circle South (look at photo 8 on MAG's 2005 map and attached)Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046700914767404315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582537199581174703.post-76781648382280983912012-03-02T18:07:12.381-07:002012-03-02T18:07:12.381-07:00Thanks, Bob.
