Tuesday afternoon I biked in the memorial ride for our Saline resident Tim Pincikowski. Tim's death was a shock to our community and our hearts go out to his family. It was a very moving and somber experience to participate in. The ride provoked a lot of thought and discussion as you can see on the annarbor.com blog entries for the article.

In Saline we are now hosting a community bike ride once a month thanks to the healthy living coalition (Pick up the Pace, Saline aka PUPS) and PEAC. We are also working on the final pieces to a citywide nonmotorized transportation plan, which should be completed mid September. What other action items can we take to make the road a safer place for all? I bike regularly out Austin Road to Bridgewater for a quick workout. Biking is an important part of the healthy lifestyle we should all be able to participate in safely.
