Bike Paths in Michael Gaynor's Honor / Fietspaden in de eer van Michael Gaynor
Final supporters
Michael Gaynor died after his scootmobiel was hit by a car after church on Sunday. His belongings were scattered 100m by the force of the accident. This must NEVER happen again on Bonaire. Our elderly, handicapped, children, bikers, runners, walkers etc., have a right to travel and commute safely on Bonaire.
In Michael's honor we ask that bicycle paths be painted on all paved streets on Bonaire until new roads are built where there are special "fietspaden" as part of the road design. He would expect us to do nothing less!
Michael Gaynor overleed nadat zijn scootmobiel werd aangereden door een auto na de kerk op zondag. Zijn bezittingen werden meer dan 100m verspreid door de kracht van het ongeval. Dit mag nooit meer gebeuren op Bonaire. Onze ouderen, gehandicapten, kinderen, fietsers, hardlopers, wandelaars enz., Hebben recht om zich veilig te kunnen verplaatsen op Bonaire.
In Michael's eer vragen we dat fietspaden worden geschilderd op alle geplaveide straten op Bonaire totdat er nieuwe wegen worden gebouwd, waar er speciale "fietspaden" als onderdeel van het wegontwerp zouden moeten zijn. Hij zou verwachten dat we niets minder doen!

I've lived on the island since I was 4 years old. I love to bike so I think it's important that we have bikepads for safety, just like in Holland.
Bike paths are good for public health, safety and promoting a cleaner environment. Bonaire could use some of the money it supposedly gets from cruise ships to pay for bike/walking paths and safer roads.
Helemaal mee eens het is hier af en toe levensgevaarlijk op de weg , veel automobilisten houden geen rekening met medegebruikers op de weg , jammer dat er eerst weer iemand moet overlijden voordat er iets aan gedaan word . R.I.P. Mike
After my last visit on Bonaire last week I was still thinking that I would never bike on the island, it's so dangerous! I lived there for 13 years and used a motorcycle and I got hit by a police car!!! So I'm totally for safety of bicycles.
It breaks my heart to learn how Michael died. Safety should have been factured into allowing people like Michael to have a scootmobile. They need to step up and make Bonaire streets safer for the many who will come after him.
Please upgrade our busy, potholed, dangerous roads with good surfaces, correct drainage, bike/wheelchair lanes and sidewalks. Masha danki.
I miss Michael.

Bike paths/lanes have been needed for years. I wish it didn't take a tragedy like this to get it moving. Another dear friend of mine had a close call on her bike recently. Please!!!! The roads need to be made safer... And drivers need to slow down and be aware.
