Thank you for expressing your concerns, Cheryl.  Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists.  Pedestrians have different rights and responsibilities.  

As with most other things, education is important, and Biki is holding free workshops with Hawaii Bicycling League through July.  Education will continue after that.

As far as dress goes, here’s what the gobiki.org website says:  “No need to pull on spandex to ride Biki. It's made to ride in your street clothes, even business attire. Dress and heels? Absolutely. And most people will sweat less taking a short 5-10 minute ride than walking 5-10 minutes.”
