The Dallas Morning News reports on the efforts Bike DFW has made to raise the awareness of the safety issues of bicycling in Dallas. In the last several weeks a number of cyclists have been injured and ywo were killed.

From the online article:

Bike DFW launched its petition Sunday to raise awareness of the two-wheel riders – and to encourage local governments to find ways to increase safety, such as bike lanes on some roads.

More than 3,600 people had signed the petition as of Thursday night, but the group hopes to rack up 100,000 signatures.

"Cyclists are like an invisible population," said Chris Phelan, one of the petition’s authors and founder of the annual Ride of Silence, which honors cyclists killed while riding. "They’re just not seen by motorists or city government."
