Please allow me some space in your newspaper to publicly thank ministers Rambachan, Cadiz and Hadeed for their great enthusiasm in launching this long overdue project in record time.We, the members of the committee: Roger Gibbon, Gene Samuel, Sheldon Waithe and myself, were also overwhelmed to see the additional support given by the ministers of Sport, Health, Youth Affairs and Culture.
We now look forward to the further enhancement of our new bike lane around the Savannah to have it become a truly safe riding facility where cyclists can train as well as a place where the entire family can recreate on a weekend.We are also very pleased to hear of Minister Rambachan's intention to establish a safe lane for cyclists in certain areas as well as in all cities, boroughs and large towns which identify appropriate venues for such lanes.
As Michael Philips pointed out, all efforts towards promoting cycling within our cities will have a positive impact on our "green" contribution.We also thank Robert Faria for the Cycling Federation's support as was exhibited by the overwhelming turnout of cyclists from all over Trinidad for the launch of the pilot project for T&T and hopefully the entire Caribbean.
