Bike Friendly South Carolina and the PCC

It was great to see a post recently on the Bike Commute Tips blog titled “South Carolina: Becoming more bike friendly.” The post points to an article in the Columbia Free Times about local efforts to make that city more bike friendly. The article is worth reading and quotes several bike commuters in the area, including Natalie Cappuccio-Britt, executive director of the Palmetto Cycling Coalition.

Unfortunately, our state has a poor track record when it comes to cyclist / motorist injuries and fatalities, but the PCC is a group that is working hard to change that. If you are not already a member, I encourage you to join. If you let your membership lapse (as I did recently) I encourage you to renew. This article was a good reminder for me. I’ll be sending in my membership renewal this week to support the PCC’s efforts to make South Carolina as bike friendly as possible.
