Average gas price in the US is 3.051 today. More people are obese in this country than ever. Oil is at an all time high lurking around $100 a barrel because of greed. What better time to ride a bicycle when you can?
Seattle City Council approves bicycle expansion plan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (November 6, 2007)
SEATTLE -- The Seattle City Council has approved a 10-year plan for 118 miles of new bike lanes and 19 miles of bike trails.
Mayor Greg Nickels hopes the number of bicycle commuters will triple -- from 6,000 to 18,000. It's now about two percent of the workers.
The plan approved Monday would establish a 450-mile network of lanes and trails for bicycle riders.
The city has budgeted $27 million for cycling projects. Completing the plan will cost $240 million.
