ARTICLES OF INTEREST
From Bob Miller: An interesting article describing a recent study that compared high intensity interval training versus longer moderate exertion exercise. According to the study, sixty seconds of intense exercise provided the benefits of three-quarters of an hour of moderate cycling.
CITY OF FREMONT
Fremont’s Bicycle Master Plan Update
The City of Fremont is currently in the process of updating its Bicycle Master Plan. The City’s Bicycle Master Plan serves as a guide for the implementation of the policies and goals of the General Plan.
The plan update will identify ways to enhance and expand the existing bikeway network, such as the installation of new green bike lanes, buffered/separated bike lanes, and trail opportunities. Thanks to community input, the plan update will also identify needs and challenging areas in order to upgrade or construct new, safe, and efficient bicycle facilities, and to encourage and increase bicycle ridership.
Fremont would like its community to share thoughts on bicycling in Fremont, and what is working and what is not. Residents can go online to provide input on existing and desired bikeways and difficult roadway segments and/or intersections by utilizing a user-friendly interactive mapping tool. View the plan.
For more information about the Bicycle Master Plan Update project and to receive a schedule of upcoming public meetings, contact the City’s Rene Dalton by Email or at 510-494-4535. The Bicycle Master Plan update project is funded by Measure B and Measure BB sales tax dollars.
