Commemorating those who help keep cyclists safer on the roads

Residents who have played a role in keeping Antigua’s roads safer for cyclists amid increasing traffic have been officially recognised by the Road Runners Cycling Club.
The body launched its ‘Share the Roads Antigua and Barbuda’ Facebook page two years ago in a bid to promote road safety and better protect cyclists and pedestrians.
“So we created the Road Runners Cycling Club appreciation awards,” spokesman Alistair Savory told Observer.
“We would these present annually to drivers of vehicles that got our attention while we rode around Antigua throughout the year. The idea was, if people are awarded merits for safe driving and we publicise this, the public may start to think, hey I should drive better around cyclists and pedestrians as I may be recognised for it,” he explained. “And we might in a small way reduce the close shaves and incidents between vehicles and cyclists.”
