Tulsa needs bike lanes.


Has anyone else noticed all the cyclists around Tulsa lately? I have, and the number of them is ever increasing. So, with this constantly increasing number of cyclists, and all the road construction going on now, it begs the question, why aren't we installing more bike lanes? Now would have been the perfect time, with all the road construction going on, we could have just added them as we improved the road. I think this is an issue that should be on the agenda of our city leaders. Tulsa is already nationally recognized as a bike friendly city, and this would make us even more so. It would also be great PR for Tulsa, helping us lose our image of being a fat, lazy city.

Tulsa's bike culture is growing, and I can't tell you how proud I am to say that. It's time that we provide more adequate infrastructure for bikes. We've come a long way in recent years, so let's not stop here.
