    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (October 3, 2011) – The League of American Bicyclists, headquartered in Washington, DC, announced in May that Sedona was awarded the Bronze level Bicycle Friendly Community designation. Signs have been posted at entrances to the City to let residents and tourist know about this designation. Sedona joins Chandler, Flagstaff, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Tempe and Tucson as Arizona Cities that have been designated Bicycle Friendly Communities. Across the United States there are 179 cities that have received the designation. The list includes Sister, OR with 1,200 people and New York City with 8 million.

    The project started when Mayor Rob Adams addressed the annual meeting of the Verde Valley Cyclists in May of 2010. Mayor Adams challenged the club to work toward becoming a Bicycle Friendly Community as part of his vision for Sedona to become a sustainable community.

    David Singer, who serves unpaid as the City Sedona Bicycle Coordinator, completed an application for the designation early in 2011. The application required providing information regarding over 200 items in five categories referred to as the Five E’s (Engineering, Enforcement, Evaluation & Planning, Education, and Encouragement).

    In the future, the City hopes to rise to the silver and gold levels as it becomes even more bicycle friendly. Several projects are planned for prior to July 2012. Currently work is underway to sign a bicycle route stretching between Dry Creek Road and Soldier Pass Road. The route would utilize Sanborn and Carruth roads. Several bicycle parking stands will be placed within the community. Also, Mr. Singer is working on the second annual Mayor’s Bike Ride for spring 2012.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
