NW Bicycle Safety Council – Helping Everyone Safely Share the Road
Presumably
most commute by car, but here in the Northwest it’s likely many choose
alternative forms of transportation: cycling, walking, bus, or light rail. With
so many sharing the road, it’s critical that motorists, cyclists, and
pedestrians know how to look out for one another so we all make it to where
we’re going, safe and sound.
That’s
why we founded the NW Bicycle Safety Council (NWBSC): to educate and promote
safety and harmony between cyclists and all others who use the roads. Our goals
are simple:
¨ To minimize the number of
injuries and deaths by educating cyclists about safe gear, safe riding, and
overall road safety
¨ To promote a better shared
experience for all users through awareness of traffic laws and rules of
the road
¨ To strengthen community and
family ties through cycling-related programs and events.
Some
of these programs and events include:
¨ Ongoing bicycle safety
programs for adults and children
¨ Monthly television program
on bicycle safety education
¨ Annual bicycle skills rodeo
for children
¨ Bicycle riding program for
senior citizens.
NWBSC
can benefit you, whether you’re a die-hard bike commuter, a weekend leisure
rider, a parent with cycling children, or a driver sharing the road with
cyclists. However, we need the support of the community to help us provide
affordable programs and events. Your donation of money, and/or event
sponsorship helps us make our roads a safe and enjoyable place for everyone to
travel.
