"Pedaling Safety" ran on the Patriot-News (page A-1 Jan. 18) informing readers about HB 170, the bill to give bicyclists a four-foot "Safe Passing" guide by vehicles overtaking them on our PA roads.
I thought it was a fairly well-balanced story and featured two photos of HBCers riding on local streets (Marilyn Chastek and her group).
PennLive carried the story (Click here) … drawing numerous comments from reader:

2011 Poster Contest Winning Design

With spring around the corner it is a great opportunity to get our fifth grade students thinking about the bicycle as a way of getting places (for fun or for transportation). Ask each student to create a poster that reveals his or her understanding of the many different values of bicycling (it is fun, healthy and green). Students should make sure their poster follows the contest rules by using the checklist below. The winners will be selected by a panel of individuals from the Bicycling Industry.

 The Gettysburg North-South Marathon that will take place for the 2nd year on April 29th. An integral part of this event is the competition between runners from the North and South. Everyone is free to select the side they wish to represent based on their current state of residence, where they grew up, where their ancestors lived during the Civil War, or any reason they choose.
The race organizers are looking for people who would be interested in helping out as lead and guide bikes for the event. Two lead bicycles are required for the runners, one each for men and women. A mobility impaired division has been added and would ideally be staffed by a guide bike for each participant. Cyclist will help maximize a safe competition for the push rim and hand cycles (especially the later).
