Neighbourhood Bike Path Persuasive Speech

Good morning fellow students I am the head of construction and I will be talking about the Wynnem road upgrades. This is going to be effecting a vast amount of people all across Brisbane. This means the government will be buying and demolishing homes as soon as they come on sale. I strongly believe that the widening of Wynnem road should go ahead. The barricades have been put on and the plans have been reveled after first thought of upgrading in 2011. It is due to complete in 2020. The upgrade will provide interim measures to improve traffic efficiency and safety along Wynnum Road between Canning Bridge and Riding Road in Norman park.

The Greener Beltline in Atlanta project will introduce bike stops along the Beltline for a low cost to rent as an appealing alternative to transportation, exercise, and leisure time. This project will lessen the amount of mobile emissions in the city of Atlanta and increase the community’s quality of life. Moreover, this project will also provide resources and community engagements for local adolescents, adults, and bike organizations of the community. The resources and community engagements will be on the weekly basis and based on a monthly calendar located at each resource center and bike stop along the trail. Due to the Greener Beltline in Atlanta project being a project addition to an existing project, there may be more challenges faced than normal. One challenge that this may cause is the risk associated with adding an additional project onto their current project. The Greener Beltline in

It is never easy to do good for the society. It comes with many complications. Money, effort, oppositions. It is never easy and especially to do it in New york city, the centre of all economic opportunities, just makes it even more difficult. It all started in 2006, under the leadership of former mayor, Michael Bloomberg, when “the city planning department conducted a survey of city bicycle commuters and recreational cyclists in 2006”( Lyon 4) to see the feasibility of NYC city bike share program. The main intention or rather the main motive for introducing a bike share program was to “maximise efficiency of existing mass

The bike lane is marked by green paint and is about 10 feet in width. Reflective Safe-Hit posts divide the bike lane from the vehicular lane. Supposedly the posts can withstand vehicular collisions and also soften the impact of bikers in the event of an accident. Interestingly, the middle lane is a parking lane, allowing cars to be parked on the left of the bike lane, providing an additional layer of barrier between bikers and cars. The bike lane is well used; I counted at least 7 bikers in the span of my observation period. On Channing Way, the bike lane is different. The bike lanes are situated on the left of street parking, with no division in between. This is a hazard to bikers because negligent drivers will not check their blind spots before opening their doors. There are also multiple paratransit and Bear Transit bus stops on Channing Way, where temporary stops will impede the bike traffic, forcing bikers to navigate around the busses. There is no perfect solution; It is impractical to establish protected bike lane everywhere. The protected bike lane is only 3 blocks in length on Fulton. Channing’s bike lane spans all the way to the

One thing I see that my community lacks is the disrespect of driver to a bike lane and the way they consider it as part of the street and when you are there they honk their horn on you telling you to get off the road when they are actually who are doing the wrong thing. They use their power against you because they got a life taker car and we got a small little bike that is power by your feet. It had happened to me a lot where I am one the bike lane cars just honk and then goes over the bike lane which is really unfair.

Brace yourselves everyone! This is Dave Smith here at the scene of the wreck on I-92. A semi pulled in front of them, and they swerved to avoid hitting it. If I were them, I would take the back roads like Route 66. Route 66 has small town restaurants, stores, and everyone knows everyone. It does not have those huge semi's that zoom past you. It is not busy at all. This road has landmarks, and stuff that you might never see again.

Given that at least half of the bicyclists never use the bike paths, I am advocating for bike lanes, particularly on the uphill side of the road. Simply adding 2 feet of pavement and minimizing the ditch alongside the road will both maximize bicycle safety and minimize cost. I believe that the bike lane is needed to keep them safe. In the winter, the bike lane will help keep cars from getting stuck in the ditch after snowstorms when it is virtually impossible to tell where the road ends and the ditch begins.

It is only a matter of time until politicians throughout America will succumb to the pressures to create a similar system of roads around the nation. It would certainly increase the revenue for nearby businesses due to the newfound tourism. The new road system would be safer in comparison to a speed regulated highway. Germany’s autobahn for example has 6 traffic related deaths per 100,00 in comparison to 8.3 in

I believe that if everyone gets a bike then no kid would get

Drive throughs are a leading cause in air problems such as air pollution. The big debate now-a-days is whether drive throughs being ban or not being ban. Drive throughs are leading causes for horrible air quality, waste a lot of gas in the world, and the also cause obesity. On the hand other they are good on the marketing side of things for business. Although drive throughs are very useful it also causes some of the biggest problems in the world and atmosphere.

My central idea for this topic is for my audience to be aware that spending time outdoors is important for the body and mind and helps you relieve stress more so than having not to spend time outdoors. Spending more time outdoors can be done in many ways and it is healthy for your body.

Ready, set, “bang,” the starter gun goes off, thousands of people cheer, hundreds of runners on your left and right, and the only thing you’re focus on is crossing the finish line. Your heart is pounding, your stomach twists around itself, and the lactic acid builds in your legs to a point where all you can focus on is the pain that each step takes. But this is Cross Country. Outlasting the pain is part of the sport and if you hadn’t known that from the start you wouldn’t have joined right? And you wouldn’t have stayed all four years either.

Bike riding is one thing every child looks forward to during the summer as well as riding them to school. When I was, younger and rode my bike, I could ride till it started to get dark out, then I had to go home and put my bike away. I didn’t have to have a helmet on when I rode my bike around, today children must have helmets so they don’t fall and bust their heads open. A bike needs to have the regulation reflectors on the front and back so people can see you if you are riding in the dark. Also, you could ride your bike on the sidewalk to be safe, but now you must ride in the bike zone. “Children fifteen and younger are the ones accounted for nine percent of all the pedal cyclists killed and the twenty percent of all the ones that are injured in traffic crashes in 2012” (U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,

I firmly feel that cyclists should be allowed to ride on the footpath as there are numerous accidents on the road, cars get the blame for everything, and it saves money for the government not having to constantly be making bike lanes on the road.
