There are other responses to bicycle safety that can bring benefit to the town in addition to improving safety. Bicycle awareness campaigns for motorists and safety training for cyclists and bike lanes and bike boulevards for major arteries are good responses. Set up bike lanes on lightly traveled roads is particularly effective. Bicycle friendly towns stimulate the local economy because cyclists spend money too.
