2. People who bike because they can't afford cars. We hear a lot about how only elites cycle and we have to make sure that working-class people who have to drive have plenty of space to do it. But we never see anyone trying to accommodate the people who bike everywhere because they don't have a car, even though they wish they did.
Two things cycling advocates should focus on:
1. Getting older people to bike. Around here whenever infrastructure comes up in the city council or a commission or something, someone always says, "Oh, I'm afraid my cycling days are behind me so I'm not interested in this". These people need to try out electric tricycles at the very least!
Rushville receives infrastructure safety grant
"In October 2023, Rushville received a $787,600 award to create an action plan along SR 3 that addresses surrounding safety and infrastructure concerns, with a goal of reducing the rate of serious and fatal accidents. The grant will allow the city to hire a full-time employee to coordinate and manage the project and engage community stakeholders in the planning process."
