Car drivers, share the road with bicyclists

BRATTLEBORO — We are very concerned that here in Brattleboro in the past few weeks there have been four crashes involving motorists and pedestrians or bicyclists.

Because so many of us rely on cars for transportation, it is easy to forget how powerful and dangerous one can be.

A great number of our friends and neighbors here walk and bicycle to get to work, get exercise, and do daily errands. Please be aware of bicyclists and pedestrians by actively looking for them when you are driving.

Observe the speed limit, please, and pay close attention when you are making left and right turns.
