Gary — You are a champion in the greatest sense of the word. The philosophy you’ve adopted and espoused here via countless examples and discourses is phenomenally inspiring.

Here’s an idea that I’m sure you’ve heard of, one that probably requires some serious scale to work in reality: http://afctank.blogspot.com/2009/07/chiyu-chens-hybrid-bike-system.html (follow the links!)

Keep up this amazing drive to reclaim our daily world from the current gassy, tin-can deathgrip!

Great information and thank you for taking the initiative to contact me, Craig. I’ll be updating the map soon with the new information. The opposition to this simple traffic tool, although it fits the pattern, is still surprising considering the amount of information and success regarding the modern roundabout. The more the public can hear from communities that have them, like them, and continue to expand their use is beneficial. In particular, positive messages from road commissions and traffic engineers is appreciated; send more this way if you could!

Hi Gary.

I’m the PIO at the Road Commission for Oakland County. Nice site! BTW, I note that you are not including 6 or 8 of our roundabouts here in Oakland County on your map. Also, we have a great video and lots of materials on roundabouts that you might be interested in. If you can send me your e-mail, I’ll provide a comprehensive list of roundabouts in Oakland County as well as our video and materials (Much of this is also available on our Web site).

Thanks!

Thanks for chiming in Henry…I just sent you an email with a small request.

I haven’t heard of the “Pedestrian Revolution” but it sounds captivating. I look forward to setting my eyes on it.

Let Ethan know that if he ever wants to share some stories about the “Open Roads Youth Bicycle Program” with all of us in NW Michigan, I’d be glad to host here.

I almost named this siteOurWheelsareTurning.com for that very reason….

Gary, Do you own the book “The Pedestrian Revolution” which for long was out of print? If you don’t, I’ll send you a copy (to NMC?) Do let me know — and keep posting. Your blog is terrific — and I’ve pointed it out to my son Ethan who is running an “Open Roads Youth Bicycle Program” in Kalamazoo. He is teaching social skills & bicycle repair to “troubled” youths. He loved your blog.
