👏👏👏 Thank you @provocity! It’s plowed and beautiful. This is how we treat cycling as a respectable form of transportation.

Great news! @ibikeutah was awarded a grant that provides $30k of data and assistance to assess the safety of streets in Provo. We will be working closely with them to find problem areas and work with @provocity to fix these issues.

Another city councilmember feature: Dave Harding. Dave lives in Dixon, right outside downtown and commutes to most city meetings by bike. Thanks for your example, Dave!

The data is clear: cycling infrastructure boots ridership and ridership boosts safety. Chart comes from Jan Gehl’s “Cities for People”

We’d like to highlight @provocity Councilman @georgebhandley. He practices what he preaches. “When I was first elected, I committed to riding my bike to most city meetings. I kept that commitment. Then UVX came on board and I committed to using that instead. I love UVX. As I am now the proud owner of an eBike, I use it as well to travel to all of my city meetings, even in cold weather. I love it. I am doing my part and hope you do as well so that we keep our emissions down and our air quality up. I am averaging about 150 miles per month commuting on my bike.”
