The Friday Connection

Man, another week has flown by and it is Friday again. What does that mean? (Yes, it is the Friday Connection!) And it is a 60 mile weekend (80 mile week) according to our training plan!!

This week's link comes from our friend Monique. It is to an article at the Idaho Statesman highlighting Kristin Armstrong's visit to the Senate Transportation Committee where she testified about strengthening Idaho laws for cyclists. Some laws they are discussing were also hashed out at the Boise City Council Meeting  a few weeks back. It is exciting to have a local cycling celebrity help bring in the fight for safer roads.

In the same article the organization Yield to Life was mentioned. Yield to Life is a non-profit that focuses on creating safer conditions for cyclists. It is a very nice site. It offers tips for motorists and cyclists to help make roads safer.

Safety really starts with education. If motorists and cyclists know the rules of the road we are less likely to have bike/car related accidents!

Safe peddling, Friends.
