1. What type of bicycle riding do you do and how often?

We own three bikes and ride for pleasure whenever possible.

2. What do you think your municipality has done well in cycling and where do you feel improvements are needed?

Yes. The City has has clearly marked bike routes with push-button traffic lights through much of the city. Downtown bike lanes add to safety.

Needs: To complete gaps in bikeways, add more bike stations on sidewalks, more bike capacity on buses, safety education programs

3. Do you feel more money should be spent on cycling programs and what do you feel the priorities for spending should be?

Yes, we should spend more on cycling. We should complete the city cycling plan and work toward the goal of 10% Cycling as transportation. Cycling Safety should be paramount.
