Bike Rack: Safety awareness key to overcoming fear on the road

There's a chill in the cycling community right now, fostered by reports of deadly accidents involving recreational cyclists hit by cars while riding on the roads.

The reports are not frequent. They come out every now and then, maybe one or two per year, but when they do, they hit home.

There were two men in July 2010, ages 75 and 56. They were hit and killed by separate drivers on the same day. The accidents happened just a few miles apart in a popular cycling area in eastern Oklahoma County.

Then there was the 36-year-old triathlete killed in August 2013 while finishing up a charity ride near Lake Overholser.

A 25-year-old New Yorker was killed in July 2015. He was hit by a distracted driver while riding his touring bike through Washita County in western Oklahoma. A few weeks later, a 53-year-old man was hit by another distracted driver while riding on the shoulder of a highway south of Purcell.

Those are just a few examples, but there are others. For many cyclists, those types of tragedies come to mind from time to time, triggered by the noise of a car or pickup whizzing by a little too fast or a little too close.

They are reminders of how dangerous cycling can be.

Consistent range

According to the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, an average of six cyclists are killed in our state each year.

Samantha Harcrow, safety office program manager for cycling, said there has not been an upward or downward trend from 1997 to 2015. Rather, the numbers vary each year, but the range has been consistent, mostly four to six a year.

There may be some comfort in the fact that Oklahoma's numbers remain consistent even as the number of cyclists in our state seems to be growing, and Harcrow indicates there may be more reason for optimism.

“As any population that shares the road increases, this could potentially impact the number and severity of crashes,” Harcrow said. “We are seeing this with crashes involving motorcycles and now pedestrians. However, the current numbers show no trend at this time for bicyclists.”

Perhaps drivers and cyclists are becoming more aware of each other and more willing to share the road.

Harcrow says that most drivers do not regularly encounter bicyclists, so there is a very real possibility that they do not always recognize cyclists as they survey the traffic scene in front of them.

The most important thing a driver can do to prevent accidents with cyclists is to watch for them and recognize them, she said. On the other hand, cyclists can play a role by doing what they can to be seen. Cyclists should be aware of the possibility that drivers may not always see them at intersections or coming over the crest of a hill.

“A bicyclist's life may depend totally upon their visibility and ability to ride defensively, being prepared for the possibilities and knowing their own obligations toward the rules of the road,” Harcrow said.

Her message is similar to what many of us heard as we learned how to drive. Be aware and be cautious. Our safety, to a large extent, is in our hands.

For example, cyclists might be more visible and safer riding in groups of two, three or more, rather than riding alone. It is also important to maintain a straight, consistent line that is easy for drivers to predict, and give drivers plenty of room to pass. It also means watching for traffic, obeying the rules, and listening for approaching vehicles. Riding a bicycle while wearing earphones is almost as bad as riding without a helmet, experts say.

Becoming safer

Harcrow said the investments municipalities are making in bike lanes, bike routes and trails are making Oklahoma a safer place to ride. Signs posted along these routes help warn drivers, which helps build the driver awareness that she says is so important. Bike routes and lanes also give cyclists and drivers more road space to share.

There are a growing number of bicycle and pedestrian trials in Oklahoma City, Tulsa and other communities, both of which give people opportunities to abandon city streets altogether if they choose to.

Cycling can be dangerous, but it is also a healthy form of exercise that can be done safely.

Tragic accidents have happened, and it is likely they will happen again, but I believe it is as safe to ride in Oklahoma as it has ever been. And, there is reason for optimism about the future as communities are becoming more aware of cycling, and they are accommodating us with ever increasing numbers of routes, lanes, trails and watchful eyes.

DC'S BIKE LANES ARE IMPROVING YOUR COMMUTE, YOUR HEALTH, AND YOUR SOCIAL LIFE

It’s not easy to get around Washington, DC. It’s really, really not!

There’s ample evidence of this. Tune into WTOP for the regular traffic report -- “traffic on the eights, and when it breaks” -- and listen to the anchor with a thick mid-Atlantic accent recite a real-time litany of congested area highways.

If you need more convincing, I present to you Exhibit B: An entire podcast, produced by WAMU, solely devoted to the chaotic commuting nightmare that is the Washington Metro system. It’s aptly named “Metropocalypse,” and it’s harrowing.

Or just compare it to other cities. Last year, the Urban Mobility Institute named the city the nation’s most congested.

So what should you do to get around the gridlock?

A bike. Just get on a bike.

“If you’re moving here and I know you, I’d definitely tell you to bring your bike,” says Natalia Rodriguez-Santos, who lives in Shaw and calls her bike her primary means of transportation. “It’s the easiest way to get around.”

It appears many Washingtonians agree with this sentiment. The number of residents who get around by bicycle has gradually inched up over the years, while the annual number of bicycle trips we’re taking around here has skyrocketed since 2000. Today, 4% of DC commuters do so by bike. Sounds like a little, but by headcount, that’s a lot.

And that growing constituency is among the reasons the city government has built out its bike infrastructure.

In fact, we’re in the midst of an expansion of the existing network right now.

In 2000, there were less than three miles of bike lanes in the District. Today, DC maintains 69 miles of them. And more are coming.

“Fifty-five to 59 percent of DC residents get around the city not in a car, which is pretty high, and the city has a goal to get that to 75 percent,” says Greg Billing, executive director of the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA).

Billing is referring to the city’s MoveDC program, which aims to get more of us out of our cars and onto buses, sidewalks, and bikes -- and by doing so, easing the gridlock. There are plans for pedestrians, and you can find them here. But the designs for the biking community are substantial.

The city’s master plan calls for a total 136 miles of bike lanes by sometime around 2040. We’ll all be old and grey by then, but still, it’s all about the kids.

“There’s a vision for a fully comprehensive network that connects neighborhoods to each other and neighborhoods to downtown,” says Billing. He calls the MoveDC goals ambitious -- and says the city’s a bit behind schedule -- but ultimately worth it for easing congestion. Bike lanes, after all, attract bikers. The cycle tracks that have popped up on 15th, M, and L streets in Northwest prove, “If you build it, people will ride.”

Gadget turns bicycle transit upside-down

If you own more than one type of bicycle, then you may have noticed that a single car-top-mounting system doesn't necessarily work for all of them – or at least, not without a bit of doing. Going between a road bike, mountain bike and fatbike, for instance, can require the use of adapters for different tire widths, axle types or frame designs. Then, there's also the fact that not all systems are compatible with all roof-top racks. That's why Australian cyclists Stefan Wrobel and Sean Stoney invented the Upside Rack.

The Upside can reportedly be attached to almost any type of bike, allowing it to be mounted upside-down on any rack. Here's how it works …

With their bike right-side-up and on the ground, users start by hooking a rubber strap on the rear end of the Upside Rack around the saddle. They then fold the Y-shaped device's anodized aluminum arms forward and clamp them to the handlebars. When the bike and rack are turned upside-down and placed on a roof rack, the tops of the handlebar clamps hook onto the front cross-rail. A hook in the back, meanwhile, is slid forward until it engages the rear rail, and is then tightened down and locked into place.

The whole process is said to take about 20 seconds, and is demonstrated in the video at the bottom of the page.

Users can mount the device on the car's rack facing forwards or backwards, so two or more Upside-equipped bikes can be placed on one vehicle sitting in alternating directions. Additionally, Wrobel tells us that the product has passed a series of crash tests, meaning that it won't go flying off if the car is in a collision.

Aurora honored for its work to encourage bike riding

The League of American Bicyclists has recognized Aurora for its efforts to become friendlier to bicyclists.

The organization awarded the city the Bicycle-Friendly Community Bronze designation, a rare award for a community to get, especially on its first try, said Eric Gallt, the city's traffic engineer.

"There are only 11 in the state," Gallt told members of the Aurora City Council Finance Committee Tuesday. A city news release said since 2002, there are only 480 Bicycle Friendly Communities across the country, out of 870 applications for the designation.

Aurora was honored for major leaps in cycling infrastructure, and efforts in planning and improving feedback from the cycling community. The League of American Bicyclists recognized Aurora's recently opened dedicated bike lane in downtown that connects a gap in the Fox River Trail along River Street, as well as the city's dedication to implementing its bike plan and its newly formed Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee.

That committee just had its first meeting last week.

In addition, Aurora has brought a bike rental service to three sites in downtown Aurora and expanded designated bike lanes throughout town, improving safety and connecting trails to guide cyclists from trails on the city's East Side to downtown.

"We are very pleased at the recognition afforded to the city of Aurora for our ongoing efforts in developing a bike-friendly community," said Mayor Robert J. O'Connor. "As our city looks to the future, we will continue research, propose and implement new ways to build our cycling infrastructure, which in turn, bring great returns in the health and the quality of life for our residents."

More bike parking recommended for commuters!

Suzhou Pioneer evelopers could be forced to build more bicycle parking spaces and showers for cyclists, under reforms to be considered by the state government.

Cycling advocates have complained of a growing shortage of bike spaces, particularly for CBD retail workers.

Now the planning department will consider a review of bicycle parking rates for new developments across all over the world!.

Designers of large retail and office buildings already have to plan for one employee bike parking space for every 300 square metres, under the Melbourne Planning Scheme. But the requirements have not been updated since 2006, when far fewer people cycled into work.

Bicycle Network Victoria spokesman Garry Brennan said Victoria had led the way in bike parking provisions, but that legislation was now ''way out of date''.

He said a shortage of cycling facilities in the city was a common complaint, although ''smart'' building owners and employees were choosing to install extra bike racks and change rooms.

''The tenants and developers of new projects realise that they are much more saleable and rentable if they have plenty of bike parking and good after-trip facilities like showers,'' he said.

NAB employee Lana Casey, 26, rides from her Elsternwick home to her Docklands office three of four times a week, keeping a ''second wardrobe'' in her own generously sized locker provided by the bank.

The fitness fanatic said she would be hesitant to work with a company that did not provide bike parking and changing facilities.

''Riding to work is a huge part of my life because it cuts out traffic. It's faster for me to ride than drive,'' she said.

In 2010 global real estate firm Colliers International produced a white paper on the growing demand for cycling facilities in Victoria and Australia, declaring ''fit, bike-commuting workers are … the sort of employees that companies fight to recruit and retain''. They said companies could consider converting car parks in bicycle parking, with one car space providing room for 14 bikes.

For the first time in 2012 the company found bike parking was considered more important than car parking by tenants. Prior to 2010 Colliers International's research had found the opposite.

National director of research Nerida Conisbee said car parking had become less attractive because it was increasingly expensive and also harder to get into the city using a car.

Ms Conisbee said while developers would probably meet the growing demand, without extra legislation, ''I don't think it's a bad thing to encourage people to do it.''

The Property Council of Australia said it would prefer market forces to determine the number of bike parking spaces in buildings. ''In high-density areas like inner Melbourne, the signals are very hard to resist,'' Victorian deputy executive director Asher Judah said.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure has confirmed the government will consider a review of bicycle parking rates.

Melbourne City Council has also signalled its intention to push for a bicycle parking rate review. Transport chairwoman Cathy Oke said the council could implement its own local planning rules around bicycle spaces, if the government chose not to pursue reform.

Cr Oke said the council could not forever keep installing bike parking hoops on CBD footpaths, because those areas were needed for growing numbers of pedestrians.

Nowadays, we can easily find a public bicycle station on the street and it makes our life more convenient. But there is a problem rising while more and more people using public bicycles. We always find there’s no bike available when we want to rent one.

Some cities are trying to solve this problem and mechanical parking system are used in public bicycle stations. A mechanical parking system with two tier bike racks in Hangzhou started the trial recently.

This station uses ticket gate to make it easier for managing. It’s suitable for place with big people currency and large requirement of bicycles. The station is about 40 square meter and it’s capacity is more than 80 bicycles.

Two Tier Bike Racks is making a large improvement on space utilization and it will be used intensively in crowded cities.
