I ride a bicycle around Crozet for recreation and for work (coffee, showing houses to clients), and for errands (groceries and such).
And I’ve seen a cargo bike or two, and I’ve seen more people riding bikes to school (too often on shoddy sidewalks, but that’s part of the story).
More people on bikes = better community (it’s easier to say hi to your neighbors from a bike) cleaner air, and more connectedness – to Crozet, neighborhoods, friends.
First, we need to build infrastructure that accommodates people in cars, trucks, and on bicycles, scooters, wheels, and foot.
Lacking that as a realistic thing that will happen, we still celebrate Bike Month!
