These new sights have caught my eye the past week while I was out running. They make me very happy. While out in Colorado, I felt so much safer on the road. They have several bike lanes and just an all around better attitude about bikers and runners sharing the road. In Boston I was confused why the cars kept stopping for
me. It's refreshing to think Wichita might become a healthier city very soon!

It's actually not just a good attitude-it's the law here that drivers MUST maintain at least a three foot space between themselves and cyclists on the road. The law was a bipartisan effort at its finest-two guys from different parties who are avid cyclists and mountain bikers came together to make the roads safer for everyone. It also beefed up penalties against those who throw things at, or otherwise harrass people on bicycles. You can check it all out here:
