Federal transportation officials have been removing and revising online safety materials that reference bicycles and bike lanes, raising alarms among safety advocates who say the move puts lives at risk.
The deletions and edits target publicly available resources that had previously addressed cycling safety, including references to bike lanes as a tool for reducing traffic crashes.
Safety advocates warn that stripping this information from federal websites undermines proven methods for keeping cyclists safe on the road and could have real consequences for communities across the country.
