Bicycling
- Bike Ithaca. Ithaca and Thompkins Country. "Bike Ithaca is an informal group of people interested in getting around by non-motorized means and committed to making Ithaca more hospitable to that kind of travel. Among us are recreational cyclists, bike commuters, car-less families, and lots of people who, while remaining members of a car-dominated society, are working toward a greener vision. And, of course, people whose way of decreasing dependence on motor vehicles is to walk or take the bus rather than drive.
Because we aren’t a formal organization, we have no formal affiliations or alliances. This means we are free to express our views and preferences and to declare an affinity for various other community organizations and undertakings. And because we try not to be doctrinaire, we can also endorse efforts like Ithaca Carshare, which actually makes cars available to people, but on a shared basis that ultimately reduces the “carbon footprint” of all participants.
Our long-term goals — dreams, really — include walkable sidewalks along all streets, covered bike racks and lockers everywhere they’re needed, safe cycling paths radiating from all the schools and parks, law enforcement officers fully aware and supportive of the rights of cyclists and pedestrians, bus routes serving sensibly developed communities, civil servants eager to implement the greenest and healthiest options we can design."
