BIKE TRAILS COULD BE PUT TO MANY USES

I THINK we should put bike trails all over Virginia. This would make it possible for people to see the outdoors, camp, take a trip to other places in Virginia, and exercise, all at once.

It is dangerous to ride on the road because of the cars and trucks. A lot of people ride on the parkway, but the road is built only for cars, not for bicyclists and runners.

The area is boring enough as it is; we need to give people something to do besides driving a car. Since a lot of people can't afford cars or car insurance, please let us have a way to travel, get exercise, and enjoy our natural environment. KEVIN FLIPPEN Student, William Byrd High School VINTON
