Has Pro-Bicycling Candidate Obama Done Enough for Cyclists During His Time in Office? | Bicycling
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
When you’re the President of the United States, you can’t even take a simple bike ride without the press tagging along. So when photos surfaced of the First Family taking a spin while on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, it reminded us: In 2008, Obama was the bike candidate, even during the primaries.
But how has cycling—particularly things like bike paths, protected lanes, and other important infrastructure—fared under his leadership? As we enter the last year of Obama’s presidency, and as the 114th Congress embarks upon the last legislative session before the 2016 elections, we decided to find out what’s gone right, what hasn’t, and why now is a crucial time to make your pro-pedaling voice heard in government.
