[net.bicycle] NAPERVILLE TO CONSIDER BICYCLE BAN

*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR TOE CLIPS ***


     I just read an article in the Naperville Sun that I believe
a lot of people on this newsgroup would like to know about. I
haven't had time to check recent news to see if this information
has already been posted, if it has then please excuse.
     There will be a meeting next Wednesday July 17, 1985 at the
Naperville park district office. The reason for the meeting is
that Naperville is trying to pass a law that would ban all bicyclists
from roads having a speed limit of 35 mph or higher. This is
probably the most ignorant thing I have ever heard of. At this
meeting the Adult Bike Touring Club will discuss and submit in writing
alternatives. They would like your suggestions and support too. We
have to fight this even if you don't live near Naperville because
once a town gets away with something, they will all want to do it.
     For more information, call the Naperville Police Traffic Bureau,
420-6155 and ask for Officer Walker or call the Naperville Park District
at 357-9000. If we are loud enough we can defeat this thing. If we are
silent then we deserve what we get.

All the usual disclaimers apply and I hope I have typed in those
phone numbers correct or I will never hear the end of it. For those of
you who don't know what the usual disclaimers are: The above opinions
are mine and I want to keep them and they are not neccessarily those
of AT&T, the Boston Celtics, or Grandma Mackintyre. Goodbye.
