Thornton, Wilsey Agree:

Bike Paths

By JOE ZELNIK COURT HOUSE - Bicyclist Gerald M. Thornton and bicycle safety advocate William R. Wilsey last week agreed the county needs bicycle paths. It happened at the county Freeholder meeting Sept. 24 ; Wilsey. 59, of Petersburg, a freeholder from 1972-77. said he was "concerned" about bicyclists who ride on the highways, endangering themselves and motorists. "The state says they're vehicles," he said. "It should change the law. They should ride on the shoulder and be required to have a rear-view mirror. Freeholder Ralph Evans called the mirror "a good idea." WILSEY SAID some bicyclists ignore cars and

•'give the finger" if drivers warn them with their horns. "And if you hit 'em, your insurance goes up and you lose your license," he said. "Somebody ought to do something." Freeholder James S. Kilpatrick Jr. said he had "no problem" with bicycles being treated as motor vehicles because "it subjects them to motor vehicle laws; they can get a summons for violations. "BUT THERE SHOULD BE a hard look at additional regulations to protect bicyclists and motorists if we have to share the highways," he said. "Eight or nine years ago," reminisced Freehol-der-Director Thornton, "the planning board put in for a bike path grant. We were supposed to have one from Cape May Point up -j "Sunset Boulevard, upgrading one shoulder to a bike path on all the major highways." This also was intended for mopeds. he said, since they are licensed for highways, but can't maintain minimum speed required on some roads. "Whatever happened to that plan?" ruminated Thornton. IT NEVER GOT past Lower Township." said Planning Director Elwood Jarmer. "for some legitimate reason. "I'm a bicyclist," said Thornton. "I ride from Lower to Cape May. And I know there is no way to keep it under control on the shoulder. You're forced onto the highway." Thornton pointed out that Sunset Boulevard was a much-used bicycle path thanks to county-paved shoulder on the south side and MUA-paved on the north side. It was agreed that Kilpatrick, Jarmer and Wilsey would confer on what, if anything, the county should do.
