ZOMBIE BIKER GIRL DRIVERS

Since a lot of drivers (including some coppers) still have the misconception that road bikes, you know, don't belong on the road. I raised my hand at this point and asked why we couldn't be more aggressive with slogans focusing on our right to be on the road.

One of the few posters shown was a girl walking backwards with arrows on her ass with the side note saying something like 'Or you know maybe we could just look out a little more.' So the safety campaign they wish to enact rests on the tagline. First huge problem, one of the advertising representatives admitted she hadn't been on a bike since youth and the other said he was a mountain biker/trail user. Which leads to the 'new', 'out of the box' safety campaign.

Trends saying more people want to bike, but they just don't know how to make it work. And when your thirty year plan (that wasn't available in an organized format) focuses on suburbia paths (the top two corridors being discussed are Vilano Bridge to Micklers Landing-Ponte Vedra-and Green Cove Springs to Black Creek Trail) you not only alienate a mass of city commuters, but also ignore citywide and national trends. They are beautiful and they are fun, but lets remember these kind of trails are built primarily with recreational use in mind. Don't get me wrong, I love these kinds of trails, Philadelphia has a couple really great ones that will lead you to the different counties surrounding the city. Which might not be that big of an issue if we were talking long range for commuters but sadly, the people they talked to and took census of (which by the demographic I met were not urban bikers, were not of a minority and were not of a younger crowd) wanted recreational, regional sites. Once the infrastructure starts spending the allocated funds for whatever decided purpose, it will be a hell of a lot harder to stop and redirect. The problem with directing all your energy on the long term planning are twofold: one, nothing was being mentioned about things being done now to effect transportation routes when biking is really getting into vogue and now would be a great time to act two, by already having a list of things that are being, well, planned to be planned, the group is not allowing for a lot of flexibility to change direction later on.

Plans that are still in the works and do not have a definitive timeline. The way they see it, in order for shit to get done, people need funds in order to get this funding, they need to submit a plan. The two big headings for the evening were the program's long-range planning and their new safety campaign.īy 'long range', the implication was to include paths and lanes to be done by 2035. Unfortunately, that wasn't exactly the case. Since its important Zombie make itself known to all parts of the bicycle community-especially when it relates to Jacksonville bike paths-I made sure to be in attendance.īefore I went in, my impression was a discussion focusing on what was being done to make Jacksonville safer for bikers, ie adding more bike lanes.

This past Tuesday, word out on the blogosphere (aka BikeJax) alerted me to a bicycle related planning meeting taking place, hosted by the North Florida Bike Club.
