World bicyclists ride in. And i will mention the california Highway Patrol recently adopted the same [speaker not understood] bicyclist Traffic School 101 course for their employees as did the the one we use in San Francisco which is really quite a thing when you find out the state is using the same program we use. I would encourage the police to take a look at that particular curriculum and consider including that as part of their training program. Are there any questions . All right, thank you...

Absolutely improve bicycle spending and infrastructure in the city. Reaching the goal of 50 of the trips by transit biking and walking is an ambitious goal but i think we can achieve that by not looking at the muni system which is heavily burdend and how we get a good bang for the buck and increasing spending in the bicycle infrastructure as well and as i said muni cant do it alone and infrastructure is a key part of meeting the citys goals. Very low maintenance and operational cost of muni make...

This ...
