We all have such a passion to ride our bikes, but unfortunately it does come with some risk. Just last week I lost a family member to a biking accident is Seattle. He was commuting to work, something he did everyday and loved, but this day he collided with a van and lost his life. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2008713450_bikevigil06m.html This is a very sad reminder that accidents unfortunately can happen. By you all having the foresight and taking action to minimize the chances of a tragic accident happening is just absolutely awesome.

It looks like a lot of time and effort went into this plan. I stopped riding with the Club because of safety concerns, and I'm excited about riding with DWC in '09. Thanks! Great work!

Congratulations on reaching out to Law Enforcement, it will mean a lot as time goes on. I hope that riders remember to "use" the shoulders you have correctly identified as the safest place to ride and organized the rides around. Great Job!
