With SHA updating their website I was glad to see they have retained a link to this wonderful resource for children’s bicycle safety. It is by far the best guide to introducing children to the world of bicycling that I have seen.
You might be asking why wouldn’t they include a great resource such as this? The short answer is it has yet to be branded by MDOT. This is a great resource developed on the advocacy end and not by a “The” Deportment of Transportation. While I have some appreciation of why MDOT is guarded against “special interest groups” but when it comes to safety MDOT makes use of national experts in other areas such as for the Commercial Drivers’ manual so why not here?
So while a link is great, this being printed and distributed would be even better. And it looks really easy to brand and get permission to reprint.
So I am curious what others think about this pamphlet or about the other pamphlets distributed by SHA on child safety. Is one noticeably better then the other? And does it seem strange to anyone else that one thing is offered on-line and something else is offered off-line?
