Active Ingredient - Reclaim Your Power!

Walking. Bicycling. Alternatives to Driving Everywhere. Social justice. Alternatives to suburban boredom and waste. And the infrastructure, technology, and societal changes needed to get there.

It's been a year since Susie Stephens was killed by a bus driver in St. Louis. I saw Susie speak in 1998 at the ProBike/ProWalk conference. What an inspirational speaker she was. I am now so thoroughly outraged to hear that the driver who killed her was only charged with "failure to yield to a pedestrian"? This is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of $500. Now, the National Center for Bicycling and Walking is resolved to find a way to hold drivers more accountable.
