Below are links to local news coverage from the Bicycle Safety Summit which took place this morning at Government Center. I don't have much to report on or add except that an attendee's bike was stolen from the bike rack while we were at the meeting.

I am really sad after reading and listening to all the reports listed in your posting. Rumble strips and police enforcing the "two abreast" rule are not going to change anything. Is there anyone advocating for the cyclists out there? All I want is to be able to ride my bike. Gonna start looking for a job elsewhere. I am tired of this vicious hatred for and criminalization of cyclists.
