David Wilson asks you to join the protest to unrumble the rumble strips on Route 100 in Yorktown. Meet at route 100 and 118 in Yorktown rescheduled to Saturday, October 4th at Noon.
Below is David’s email to Westchester Cycling Club Members.
It’s time to show the state Department of Transportation that the cycling community wants the DOT to pave over the rumble strips on Route 100 to prevent serious injury to cyclists. We know of at least two cyclists who have been taken to the 
hospital by ambulance after losing control on the rumble strips. This stretch is a destination for cyclists in the region, and it used to be one of the safest roads for cycling in Westchester. At the rally, we will have speakers to talk about the misguided state highway project, bike safety and how best to ride along Route 100 now that the rumble strips are in place, and how cycling is a component of a more sustainable Lower Hudson Valley. We will do an eight-mile ride along Route 100. It’s terrain that’s quite mellow and doable for all levels of riders, on any kind of bike.
The first 40 riders at the rally we get t-shirts, designed by Robert Olsson, stating:
UN-RUMBLE ROUTE 100! Rumble Ruts = Accidents RESTORE THE ROAD FOR SAFER CYCLING
