Al in Colorado Springs

In 2002, I retired from the military. I ride my bike a lot. Bike riding is the answer to obesity and transportation. Bike riding is the most efficient mode of transportation on the planet. Most destinations are very close. My town is not public transportation or bike friendly. There should be safe bike routes to schools, including elementary and middle schools. Campuses are made for cars, not for bikes, which makes them very dangerous. Buses are expensive, safe, but not healthy. I would like to see funding for safe routes to and from schools. It is a small amount of money compared to other things.
