threatening maneuvers by
drivers.
If you are involved~hile
cycling in any incident involving inappropriate behavior by a motorist, dial
(2 15) BICYCLE with the
following information: License plate tag number if
you have it, time and street
intersection of incident, description of incident, and
your name and number.
The Coalition intends to
compile reports of such incidents to help in lobbying
for stricter legal protection
for cyclists.
Polls show that fear of
automotive traffic is the top
reason most people give for
not cyclingmore frequently.

Cuts b~ SEPTA
would*Hamper
BCke-on-Rail
Proposed sewice cutbacks
on the SEWA commuter rail
lines threaten to severelylimit
the usefulness of SEPTA
Bike-on-Rail passes.
In order to make up for
unexpected funding shortfalls, SEWA has proposed
cutting weekend service entirely on certain lines and
vastly reducing train frequencies during off-peak mid-day
and evening hours.
Hundreds of Delaware
Valley cyclists now hold
SEPTA Bike-on-Rail passes,
thanks to a 1990 lobbying
effort by the Bicycle Coalition.
To lend your su ort to
the m ram, call SJ%A
at
580-!8& and ask for a mail-in
Bike-on-Rail permit application.
More
importantly,
whether you have a e m i t or
not,sign the enclosed' postcard
and send it to SEPTA General
Manager Louis Gam baccini
right away.
