VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Hundreds of people will be putting on their helmets and taking their bikes to work starting today. May 30th is the official kick-off of the "Bike To Work Week" in BC.
Executive Director Penny Noble says Vancouver's new bike lanes certainly make it easier for bikers to get around, but we all need to share the road.
"And there's a role for cars, bikes, buses, trucks, scooters, all kinds of vehicles on the roads and I think we just have to be respectful of each other"
She has some tips for people who have never taken their bike to work before.
" Be visible, wear bright clothes, make eye-contact with drivers. But you really don't need to be an athlete; you don't need special clothes. All you need is a helmet. I myself used to ride to work wearing my high heels, a business suit and pearls."
She says with the bike lanes now part of Vancouver's landscape, it makes bikers feel safer, but people have to be more respectful of each other and share the road.作者: tiffiant 時間: 2011-5-30 07:27
