As a Jacksonville bicycle accident lawyer it is nice to see an effort to make it safer to bike in our city. It’s national Bike to Work Day, and police will escort three groups of cyclists on roads leading into downtown from locations in Arlington, Southside and Westside to Hemming Plaza. Meant to highlight cycling as an alternative way to commute, Jacksonville’s version of the annual ride has provided a chance for the city and its cycling community to gauge progress.
Opinion splits on whether the situation is getting better.
The League of American Bicyclists awarded Jacksonville honorable mention in its 2009 list of bicycle-friendly communities. Bicycling magazine ranked Jacksonville as one of the three worst cycling cities in America in this month’s edition. If you have been in a Jacksonville bicycle accident be sure to call an experienced Jacksonville bike accident attorney.
