A Right to the Road: Understanding & Addressing Bicycle Safety goes way beyond training bicyclists to ride safer.

Funded through a grant by State Farm Insurance and prepared by Governors’ Highway Safety Organization, this report reinforces what some government agencies are beginning to realize and implement - that formally educating the motorist as well as cyclists, engineering better facilities, and creating and enforcing bicycle friendly laws, are key to decreasing bike-related crashes and fatalities.

This report is worthy of reading cover to cover, and sharing with your local government and representatives, bike clubs, and fellow bike advocates.  

Did you know that Oklahoma has eight League of American Bicyclist’s (LAB) recognized Bike Friendly Businesses? 

These are workplaces that create a bike friendly environment for its employees. 

Based on 4 of the 5 “E’s”, Encouragement, Education, Engineering, and Evaluation, employees are provided such benefits as:

· showers

· bicycle parking

· bike safety classes

· Sponsorship of cycling teams and group rides

· participation in the National Bike Challenge

· company bike coordinators. 

Beyond encouraging cycling among their employees, many of them support bike advocacy by being members of the Oklahoma Bicycling Coalition (OBC) and supporting sponsored bike events such as the Bike Summit  and Freewheel

By supporting bike friendly businesses, you’re approving their impact on bicycling in Oklahoma.
