Back At It

This blog took an extended vacation. We had a little bit of activity about starting up a bike committee in town over a year ago. That went away. In the meantime, there has been an upsurge of activity on the international, national and local level. Nearby, the Methuen rail trail committee has made great headway at developing a nearly three mile multiuser trail. I'll write more about that. In North Andover, there is a lot of activity around building a series of linked trails to tie schools together. I haven't heard of any activity in Andover. I've done a couple of charity rides lately and I've run into enough folks in other communities to try to revive this blog.

A Peddling Wish

Thanks for coming to this blog. Here's what I'd like to accomplish. The long term goal is to be part of creating a safe, comprehensive bicycle plan for Andover. I'd like to think that at some point (I'll call it the 25-year bike plan), the town will have a series of linked paths and safe roadways which the residents can use for recreation, shopping, business and commuting. Students will learn the rules of safe biking early on, drivers will share the roads willingly and our town will be viewed as a model for other community biking efforts. Care to join in for the ride?
