MIT, Stats and City Cycling

A lot of discussion around cycling is emotional without stats to back it up. This review of City Cycling does a good job at looking at cycling from a stats perspective. The book written advocates cycling but also uses stats from a wide range of areas to back up their findings: cycling helps you live longer, kids like to bike to school and beware the guy driving the car

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?
