Missouri Bicycle News

Ed Barsotti, Executive Director of the League of Illinois Bicyclists sent this announcement:

Yesterday, Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn held a press conference kicking off a petition drive and
administrative request to allow bikes on Metra trains during off-peak hours. The administrative
petition was signed by Quinn, Chicagoland Bicycle Federation's Randy Neufeld, Chicago Critical Mass'
Michael Burton, and myself. A Chicago Tribune story is below.

Cyclists are encouraged to sign the on-line petition at http://www.bikesonmetra.com

Metra is a light rail system serving 230 stations in the northeastern Illinois counties of Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, McHenry and Kane.

In Missouri, the St. Louis-area light rail system has one of the best bicycle roll-on policies in the U.S--roll-on the trains at all hours (space permitting, of course).
