Bicycling can be great exercise and an affordable way to travel, but riders are more likely to suffer serious injury or death upon impact with a motor vehicle. That’s why the Kansas Department of Transportation and The Drive To Zero Coalition want to remind drivers and bicyclists they share responsibility in safety. May is Bicycle Awareness Month, a time to focus on the importance of safe bicycling all year long.Warm weather and summer school closings will increase the presence of bicyclists, including youth. Gary Herman, KDOT Behavior Safety Manager, encourages motorists to always be alert and plan ahead for bicyclists this time of year.
