Cycling safety statistics and considerations
by director 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Good morning, Just one more thing to pass on and then I'll quit bugging everybody. I was recently reminded of this link to Ken Kifer's website which discusses statistics on bicycling and pedestrian accident/fatality rates. http://www.kenkifer.com/bikepages/health/risks.htm It's a good reminder about where to focus our attention when developing non-motorized amenities that allow all users to share the public roadways safely. Cyclist education is clearly the most effective form of accident … [View More]

Field Trip Anyone?
by director 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Good morning, On July 15 I'll be in Washington DC at the end of riding from Pittsburgh, PA for the National Bicycle Greenway Mayors' Relay. I'll be received by city officials, and in the past that's included DC Bike Coordinator Jim Sebastian (whom I've met on this ride 2 previous years). It may be possible for me to arrange a tour of their bikeshare system which is just coming online this month. Would any of the bike board members be interested in coming up that day to join me for a tour if … [View More]

Mapping questions again...
by Derek Springston 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Hey Steve... Refresh my memory again. You said that you didn't have any maps or specs for what we'll need to put on the Shared Lane Marking map for the bid package. You said that Frank Gmeindl should have a few maps that may be initial drafts/ideas on where we're headed with the SLM mapping? If you do know about any of the formatting, scale, resolution, methods that we should use for this map, let me know. Frank said he'd get me in touch with some of the city folks to see if they know … [View More]

New sign on Star City Bridge
by Frank Gmeindl 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Bicycle Board Members, There's a new sign at the end of the Star City Bridge coming into Morgantown at the intersection where the CVS is, Boyers Avenue. It is a diamond shaped sign with a symbol of a bicycle in it and below the diamond sign is a left arrow. Does anybody know how that sign got there, who put it there and why it's there? I suppose some well-intentioned official thinks it's a sign directing cyclists to the rail trail but I think it says all bicycles must turn left. Frank

Bike Parking Vendor Literature
by director 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Good evening, I just received a comprehensive notebook from Dero Co. (Minneapolis, MN) showing their bike storage products. Everything from lockposts to shelters with trays, hanging racks, custom sculptures in between. I would have brought it to the July meeting but I'll plan on it for the August mtg. Not sure if this warrants time on the agenda. In the meantime it will be at the Positive Spin office for anyone who want to see it. You can also see their online info at http://www.dero.com/… [View More]

Frank, Sorry to hear that you did not receive adequate support for the July 3 or July 10 meet. Summers are a bad time in that folks are running in many different directions. Thank you for your ongoing leadership and I look forward to joining you all on August 7. Be well and happy biking. Bill WV Walks - 30 minutes or more daily Feel the power of half an hour!
