High Desert Cycling is working with federal, state, and local groups and authorities to improve conditions for cyclists. We have a long way to go to make our communities bike friendly, but there are plenty of great examples we can follow.
Here at High Desert Cycling, we have a multi-step plan we'd like to see implemented:
Connect all parks and schools with bike lanes or paths;
Connect all existing and future bike lanes and paths to each other;
Encourage cities in the high desert to cooperate with each other to ensure bike lanes don't end at city limits;
Convert South Outer Hwy 18 to one-way going east, North Outer Hwy 18 to one-way going west, and use this as a central spine through Apple Valley to promote cycling and other forms of exercise;
Encourage local schools, parks, and businesses to offer bike racks;
