A friend of mine once told me his definition of insanity: “doing things the same way and expecting a different outcome.”
We, collectively, the people of these United States , we are insane. We must be; how else can you explain our willingness to accept the death each year of over 40,000 people (with millions more sustaining serious injuries) in traffic-related crashes with nary a shrug? Though we mourn each death as a tragedy, no one seems to be interested in actually changing the behavior or street design to change this outcome this year or the next.

This is Eamon. The Simpson family met him on the road near his home in Co. Sligo, Ireland when we stopped to admire his bike. He told us he has never owned a car, using this bike for all his transportation needs since he bought it for £16 in the 60's. Eamon's eloquence about the bike and its usefulness soon convinced us he should be world ambassador for human-powered transportation. Alas, he has never been out of Co. Sligo and has not had the chance to deliver his message to those in need of it. |

CRBC is submitting requests to PennDOT and College and Harris Townships to begin the planning process for construction of a bike path along Warner Drive to connect the South Atherton Street Bikeway and the bike path from Mount Nittany Middle School to the planned Oak Hall Park.
The proposed bikeway would allow cyclists and pedestrians to access the park from Boalsburg and State College via off-road paths. It would be located along the road (see photo) where Dr. Kulakowski was killed while cycling home from work on March 22 of this year. The proposal includes a rest stop and memorial for Dr. Kulakowski.
