We drive around and encounter rude, aggressive and inat- tentive motorists who think their rights on the road are the only ones that count. Forget inattention due to cell phones. Just this week we were driving behind an individual with a television set mounted above the front windshield and turned on. Needless to say, the person’s interest in whatever was hap- pening on screen took primary importance over the operation of a 3,000-pound-plus high-powered machine. Then there are the individuals who apparently mistake local streets for the Indy 500 track. Granted, the driving skills of these individuals are impres- sive, but not appropriate for downtown Millburn. Perhaps the gestures they make to complaining motorists also are official signals used on the racetracks. With such irritants in our daily life, it’s a relief to hear uplift- ing news when it comes along. We feel a plan to launch a fam- ily bike-riding event Sunday is just the type of news we need, for a change. Residents will have an opportunity to participate in a tri- town family bicycle day Sunday that will take riders through the township, Maplewood and South Orange. The idea is to promote bike safety, encourage the creation of biking and walking paths connecting the three municipalities and endorse physical fitness. The plan is to use the event Sunday to launch a Brookside Drive street closure every Sunday from 7 a.m. to noon so young and old cyclists can wheel away in peace. Local officials have obtained permission from Essex Coun- ty to establish a “no cars” zone that will stretch along three miles of Brookside Drive into the South Mountain Reserva- tion, weather permitting. The closure would enable bikers, run- ners and walkers to enjoy nature without having to play dodge /HWWHUV WR WKH (GLWRU ’em with passing cars.
