LIB public service announcement

The League of Illinois Bicyclists and the Illinois Department of Transportation next week will be airing a 30-second radio public service announcement urging cyclists and motorists to share the road.

It is scheduled to be heard on several stations throughout Illinois, including the 52 stations of the Illinois Radio Network. In the St. Louis area, KMOX-AM 1120 in St. Louis, WBGZ-AM 1570 in Alton, WJBM-AM 1480 in Jerseyville, WSMI-AM 1540 in Litchfield, WNSV-FM 104.7 in Nashville and WHCO-AM 1230 in Sparta are part of the network. When -- or if -- you hear them depends on the individual stations.

For those of you in the Chicago area, a news conference will be held at noon Monday (May 7) outside the James R. Thompson Center, 100 W. Randolph, to promote sharing the road and to distribute safety literature. Bicyclists are invited to ride to the event and show their support.

Happy National Bike Month!

Gee it's great to hear that there are some real bike advocates in the area. Please forward this info to Stlbikefed and perhaps and they'll e-mail each other to congratulate themselves on doing something! Just imagine a whooping $18,000 for a few road signs is labeled a victory!

R,
I walked over to the news conference on Monday to see Ed et al...not much of a large biking crowd, but the message will be heard on the radio by many! Let's pray that all listen to it and take action to share the road!
