The goal of the Community Association's Bicycle Advocacy Committee is to promote biking as an environmentally responsible and healthy means of transportation. We believe advocating bike infrastructure and safety will improve the general welfare, health, and environment of the community. We advocate biking as a solution to growing health concerns, environmental concerns, and local traffic congestion and parking problems. Biking is a "green" mode of transportation, with the benefit of being a healthy mode of travel. By increasing the number of bikes on our streets, and thereby decreasing the number of automobiles, we will live in a healthier place; breathing less carbon emissions and consuming less fossil fuels, able to more fully enjoy the Shore lifestyle.
