The McHenry County Bicycle Advocates work on behalf of all McHenry County bicycle riders. Their goal is to help motivate the county, and the cities and townships within the county, to provide adequate accomodations both on the roads and in the form of bicycle paths.
Of concern is the McHenry County Department of Transportation's planned reconstruction of Rakow Road which will convert a two lane road with bicycle friendly shoulders into a four lane "curb and gutter" road with no accomodations for bicycles.
Visit www.mcbicycleadvocates.org to learn how to sign their petition asking MCDOT to include facilities for bicycles on Rakow Rd.
