This Petition is requesting the City of Wildwood, Missouri to stop promoting bicycling (or cycling events) on any two-lane Wildwood roads. We petition that no City funds be budgeted for, or City employees' time used for, promotion of bicycling or cycling events on two-lane Wildwood roads.
It is time to recognize that citizens forced to drive the winding, two-lane roads of Wildwood are vulnerable to harm (many times a day) from other vehicles passing bicyclists on blind curves. We believe the City is inappropriately promoting an increase of bike traffic on two-lane roads, increasing the risk for serious harm to Wildwood residents.
IF YOU FEEL STRONGLY THAT WILDWOOD SHOULD STOP, PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION.

Well Alan, we happen to be the solid citizen core of wildwood who have the God given common sense to express our opinions about the dangerous conditions we face due to arrogant, mindless, obnoxious bicyclists. When you hit one of these idiots, you'll finally wake up to reality.

I do not agree and will not sign this petition. Just who are you people making up the Wildwood Safety Association? Slow down, you don't need to be in such a hurry. Cycling and bikers have as much right to the roads as you anonymous people making up this Association. So, who are you people and why are you afraid to come out into the public and be recognized? Your hiding behind a name is not way to try gain support.

Not only stop promoting it, but not allow in on two lane roads with no shoulder - such as Fox Creek Rd. It is simply too dangerous. The driver is abidong by the law then comes around a corner where there is a biker. The driver is forced to make a decision to run off road or onto a possible headon in the other lane. It is a grave situation for not only a biker, but two law abiding drivers. It is simply too curvy and no shoulders. There are safer places to ride a bicycle.

I cycle. But I am not irresponsible enough (with 2 small kids) to go anywhere near Fox Creek. Plenty of safe alternatives around. Also, it is a privilege, not a right, for cyclists to use these roads. If you're not buying gasoline, you're not paying for the road, so any entitlement argument goes out the door. I hate to see Wildwood encourage sharing on Fox Creek. Cyclists should be rerouted. And any cyclist that wants to put the onus on drivers should see how often cyclists are 2 wide on Fox Creek. It's suicidal.

Reducing bycyle traffic on the roads will be best for all citizens.
