[SustainableTompkins] Making Way For Bikes

[Eric Banford]

This youtube channel (Peak Moment) has lots of inspiring videos, this one would be GREAT to apply to Ithaca:

These electric bikes can "flatten Ithaca", in a sense. Though we still have to deal with winter weather, it would go a long way to making us less oil dependent. We've already got trails running in many directions, a few key cross roads downtown in each directions, closed to cars and open to bikes and pedestrians, and off we go. I know this has been kicked around before, the need for this is becoming more and more immediate. Maybe Port  Townshend can be a model for where we can take this.

Thoughts?
Eric
