Part of the Town of Falmouth Bikeways Committee's mission is education about bicycling and responding to citizens' concerns. As part of our educational efforts, we have worked with Howlingbird Studio in Falmouth to create a yellow safety vest specifically designed to help alert passers to give an audible signal and to make everyone using the Shining Sea Bikeway more visible and safe. On the front is a Shining Sea Bikeway logo and, on the back, the phrase "Alert Me Before Passing." Vests are being sold for $8.25, thanks to an initial and generous donation from the Falmouth Police Union for silk screening costs. Because Howlingbird Studio is unable to print just one or a few on demand, the Bikeways Committee is organizing a first round of publicity and ordering. To order your vest, write to the committee by March 30 at falmouthbikewayscomm@gmail.com. Send no money, just your name and the number of vests you wish to order, in medium or large. The committee will convey your name and order information to Howlingbird Studio and alert you when you should pick up your vest and pay there. If you do not have access to email, you may call Howlingbird Studio at 508-540-3787 or visit them at 91 Palmer Avenue. The Bikeways Committee plans to run a second order cycle in the summer and period orders in the future. We will also distribute some vests to be put on display around town to help publicize this effort.
