However, the city of Fayetteville

has been dragging its feet over the right of way for the bike trail which

is supposed to run down Redwine Road, which is why the trail is not even

begun. It was supposed to be finished by this month!

Evidence supports the massive

use of trails and safe bike lanes, once in place. If you would like to

see a wonderful example of trail use, go to www.silvercomet.tripod.com.

If Cobb and Paulding counties can do this, why can't Fayette be as forward

looking?

Answer: We could, if local

governments would recognize the desire and need of citizens for safe biking

trails, bike lanes and any other way to safely blend bicycles and cars.

Thanks for your efforts to

bring this issue to the attention of the general public and our local

officials. Those of us who ride bicycles (life in our hands) fervently

thank you!
