Staying Safe: Exploring Virginia's Roads
VDOT recently published a booklet for children on road safety, Staying Safe: Exploring Virginia's Roads. There's lots of information about road signs, the history of roads, and road safety. There's one thing blatantly missing; there's no mention of bicycles anywhere in the publication. There is no mention of the role that bicycles played in the early development of the road system. During the cycling boom of the late 1800's, cyclists worked with the business community to form the Good Roads Movement to lobby for better roads for bicycle touring. There are no pictures of bicycles nor mention of bicyclists using roads in Virginia. Looks like it's time for a letter to the author.
