Jessica, Maybe your right. I think a sit in is more effective than mob riding. Is the bike path still happening?

Jessica,

Maybe your right. I think a sit in is more effective than mob riding.

Bike path! Bike path! Great news that this is definitely going to happen. There will be certain problem areas along the path, I'm sure, but those are largely unavoidable. The problem you mention regarding people without easy access to a bike path in the center and thus the need to bike the wrong direction for a short distance are pretty common throughout the city, but are really not a big deal. The right thing for students coming from the West to do is not to bike the wrong way on Exposition, but to bike 300 ft to the north of exposition to use W 37th Dr. This is a quiet residential street that should be great for cyclists, and will lead them right to Foshay. Bike path! Bike path! Bike path!
