Hello, i am thinking of getting hold of another motorcycle for my husband. He however is very concerned about what type of injuries could take place from biking accidents. See his passion is athletics so if he was hurt, he would likely kill himself, no jokes. Does biking injuries most likley occur, or is it usually most likely dying!

I feel much safer riding on north Higgins now, definitely an improvement.

Nice Job to all of you that made this happen. People are going to feel a lot safer riding their bikes downtown. Can’t wait for the N. Higgins project.

Let me add my thanks as a member of the Missoula Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Board to all the parties Jim mentioned, and especially Doug Moeller from the MDT for working together to achieve a comprehensive transportation solution for Missoula. It’s a job well done.

Thanks Keila for posting this. During the five minutes I spent snapping photos, at least a dozen smiling cyclists rolled by. I want to thank Doug Moeller and Shane Stack at MT Dept of Tranportation, along with the Missoula Downtown Association, Business Improvement District, and Redevelopment Agency (especially Linda McCarthy, Rod Austin, and Ellen Buchanan) and many cycling and pedestrian advocates for working cooperatively together to make these lanes happen. It will be exciting when they connect with new lanes on Higgins between Broadway and the XXXs.
