WORT 89.9FM Madison · Madison Bikes Seeks Safer Roads

According to the Federal Highway Administration, cars kill almost 7,000 bicyclists and pedestrians in the United States a year, and injure a staggering 123,000 a year more.  Even worse, despite millions of dollars to improve traffic safety, these numbers continue to rise.  Is this danger just a fact of life – something we have to accept?  The advocacy group Madison Bikes thinks we can fight back.  On Monday, October 30th – that’s tonight – Madison Bikes will hold a screening of the documentary “The Street Project” at Union South.  Aaron Levine is a graduate student of planning at the University of Wisconsin and is on the Board of Directors of Madison Bikes.  

You can catch the event on Monday, October 30th.  Social hour begins at 5 p.m. at Sett’s Pub, with the screening of “The Street Project” at 6, and a panel discussion at 7.  For more information, or to RSVP, go to madisonbikes.org.
