Encouraging cycling

Two parts of the US are in the process of encouraging cycling.

Some coffeeshops in Bozeman, in Southwest Montana, are offering free coffee to those who bike to work next week. Bike to Work Week will culminate in a Bike Week party, with a fundraising drive for charity and a celebration.

Over in Austin, the capital of Texas, lawmakers are debating a bill requiring motorists to give cyclists enough breathing space. Click here to read the article. Perhaps if Singapore MPs were to likewise consider and pass such a bill, memories of buses inches next to you as you ride on the road will be a thing of the past.
