Bicycling For Louisville

The Interim Executive Director of Bicycling For Louisville spoke to my Environmental Ethics class this week. Her name is Amanda Fuller and she brought up a couple of interesting points that I wanted to share with you.

1. In 2007, Louisville residents spent 38 hours a year in traffic. While this is down from a peak delay of 44 hours in 2004, it is still far higher than our peer cities where residents spend an average of 29 hours. For more info, click Greater Louisville Project.

2. In order to improve bike safety, we have to grow the biking population.
