As an avid biker, I find it impossible to indulge in my passion within a reasonable distance from my home. There is no bike park equipped with jumps and tracks for riders like myself and my friends within a 30-minute radius. This lack of facilities is incredibly frustrating and limits our ability to practice, have fun, and even consider competitive biking.

Biking is not merely a hobby for us—it’s a way to stay active, bond as a community, and challenge our skills. Without a designated space to ride, we're often relegated to unsafe and unsuitable areas, which is both risky and discouraging. It's clear that there is a strong demand for such a facility, evidenced by how my friends and others in our community travel significant distances just to access a decent bike park.

Cities across the nation have acknowledged the benefits of providing dedicated biking facilities. For example, Portland, Oregon, and other cities have successfully integrated bike parks, consequently promoting health, reducing traffic congestion, and fostering community connections. The introduction of a bike park locally could replicate these benefits, providing a safe, sustainable place for physical activity and recreation.

Let's propose to our local council the development of a bike park that caters to all types of bikes—BMX, mountain bikes, and more. Such a park would not only serve our current population but would also attract visitors, stimulate the local economy, and promote an active lifestyle. It's time we had a proper place to ride, build, and enjoy biking within our community.

Please, help us make this a reality by signing this petition. Your support is crucial in showing that there is a significant need for a bike park in our area. Together, we can create a space that encourages health, community, and fun for everyone.
