May 17 is Bike to Work and School Day, which encourages cyclists nationwide to pedal their way to their destinations. While enjoying the benefits of eco-friendly transportation and improved fitness, it’s important to prioritize bike safety. This day serves as a reminder to all cyclists to ride cautiously, stay aware of their surroundings, and follow traffic rules to ensure a safe journey for themselves and others on the road.
As reported by MyBellinghamNow.com, the Bellingham city council recently voted to approve building bike lanes down E Holly Street, which runs through the center of downtown. In addition, some intersections will be given extended walking signals for pedestrians to allow for greater visibility. This is a pilot project that will begin construction in early May.
