Gliding down historic D Street, my 4-year-old daughter seated on our cargo bike, a profound sense of joy and freedom strikes me. Our big smiles, the wind in our hair, the elegant homes passing us – nothing beats that feeling. This simple act of riding a bike is liberating.
And I don’t believe our biking bliss should be the exception in Petaluma. As citizens we all pay for our streets. We get to choose what our city will look like and what values it embodies. So let’s build more bike lanes throughout Petaluma, and create a city that our kids can be free in.
