Fayetteville is growing fast. More people are moving here from all over the country and the world. I want to keep Fayetteville beautiful and make it even more so by introducing bike lanes in our community. I see more people who own bikes but drive them to go ride them somewhere else. I see more people trying to enjoy riding their bikes around unfriendly drivers. Bikes are expensive and people want to live healthier and happier lives. Bike lanes can help make this happen. With so many people living in Fayetteville we need to steer our city in the right direction before its to late. If we made bike lanes in Fayetteville, the air would be cleaner with less people driving. People would be healthier from the excersize of traveling. It would help people enjoy their day more. People who ride bikes are the friendliest of people and the more the merrier. I have seen recently an increase of people who want to ride bikes to commute around Fayetteville, some just do not know how to ride safely. I have seen them ride against traffic, on side walks, riding dangerously next to traffic just to try to avoid the dangers of Fatteville drivers who do not watch out for them. I would ride my bike more and drive less if I felt safe enough to do so and I know many others who feel the same. The healthiest communities are majorly bike used and have bike lanes. If New York City, Greensboro, Cary, Minneapolis, Portland, and lots of other cities can create bike lanes then their is no excuse for Fayetteville not to have them either. Let's make Fayetteville great with bike lanes! Please sign this petition if you feel bike lanes would be better for Fayetteville so you can enjoy them. Change happens because people make it happen. Let's make Fayetteville amazing.
