Do you remember learning to ride a bike? I do and I bet the memories are similar to lots of your experiences. With one of your parents guiding you, you wobbled around the driveway a few times until you finally got the hang of peddling, steering and staying upright. It was quite an accomplishment.
I'm starting this blog with that early riding experience in mind and hoping that this is the start of a new riding and bicycle experience for Andover. Certainly the time is right for considering the bicycle as an equal partner to all those cars and trucks now on our roads. Andover is a great town and has done an outstanding job of preserving open space, providing walking paths and showing an environmental concern while maintaining growth. Wouldn't it be great for us to build on those efforts and make the town a community tied together through safe, comprehensive bicycle paths, clearly marked roadways used by responsible and educated bicycle riders.
