by Derek Springston 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hey guys, If you biked to work last week in the Morgantown area, here is the online form to fill in for your Bike-To-Work week mileage. Did anyone else make it every single day? I think it's only open until today, so please get this to your bike commuting friends ASAP!! I'm going to post it on the Mon Bike club site, too. Please forward this on to all of your biking friends who may have commuted last week. The more miles we can report, the better! Post the link below on your forums, facebook, and myspace if possible.

Fwd:How is my commute?
by Jim Rye 15 May '09

15 May '09

An appropriate message to forward on National Bike to Work Day. But bicycle riding is not necessary to take some action on this. Jim Rye Professor and Interim Associate Research Dean College of Human Resources & Education Dept of Curriculum & Instruction/ Literacy Studies West Virginia University PO Box 6122 604 Allen Hall Morgantown, WV 26506-6122 jim.rye(a)mail.wvu.edu Cell: (304) 692-0982 Phone: (304) 293-4416 Fax: (304) 293-3802 Are YOU waitin' for the world to change? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPOBMzMTP4U >>> "Ilana Preuss, Transportation for America" <info(a)t4america.org> 5/15/2009 9:25 AM >>> Dear james, It's okay. You can say it. "My commute sucks." Feel a little better already, don't you? There's more relief where that came from - at our new website, http://www.MyCommuteSucks.org. Look, with see-sawing gas prices, crazy crowded streets, and noxious fumes - who would love their commute? We're breaking out from the mold a bit on this one, we know. But we think it's worth it to give Americans all over the country - in big cities, small towns, and everything in between - a chance to let it all out and tell Congress exactly what we feel. Visit our new website at http://www.MyCommuteSucks.org and tell Congress: "My commute sucks and it's not getting any better. Stop pouring billions into a broken system. Transportation shouldn't be an expensive, dirty burden. Fix it, clean it, make it work!" At http://www.MyCommuteSucks.org, you can get in touch with Congress, vent your daily frustrations, upload photos and video, read and rate the stories of other troubled commuters, and learn more about how the transportation policy they cook up in Washington affects the lives of so many millions of people, whether they drive, ride, or walk their way to work, school, appointments, and life. Letting it all out is the first step to changing the system...getting personal with Congress comes next. Rage against your ride, then help us turn the tide! Sincerely, Ilana Preuss Outreach and Field Director Transportation for America P.S. You can let it all out while you're on the go, too. If you're a Twitter user, just include #mycommutesucks in your rage-filled tweets. We'll stream them live on our homepage!

Bicycle Parking Spreadsheet...
by Derek Springston 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hey guys, Here is the Bicycle Parking spreadsheet I promised last night. Please take a look at it and suggest other racks that you may know of. Of course, if you happen to be out and have a GPS unit, get some points for me! However, just a verbal description would be great, too!! ~Derek _________________________________________________________________ Insert movie times and more without leaving Hotmail®. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/QuickAdd?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutor…

Re: [Bikeboard] FWD: Encourage A Healthy Life Style In Your Employees - Offer the Commuter Check for Bicycling
by Morgantown Pedestrian Safety Board 11 May '09

11 May '09

Thanks for the information Nick and Jim. I've looked at the text in the federal bill and I believe that an individual employer must decide to offer the $20 credit as a commuter benefit. I don't have the text of the bill in front of me, but that is how I remember it. We should all be lobbying our employers to offer the bike commuting incentive! Christiaan Walk 30 minutes a day!

It appears that you sign up and they handle all of the red tape to make sure that bike commuters get at least $20/month for reducing transportation costs. In case the graphics don't come through you can read the information at this link... http://www.commutercheck.com/employers/cco.aspx Nick ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Commuter Check" <Commuter_Check(a)mail.vresp.com> Reply-To: "Commuter Check" <reply-a7eb991577-71fc980bf3-d107(a)u.cts.vresp.com> Date: Tue, 05 May 2009 15:15:33 +0000 Commuter Check for Bicycling Help your employees help the environment just by riding their bicycle to work. Bicycling to work is good for your employees because they: â€¢ Are generally healthier and take less sick time â€¢ Arrive on time and are not as frazzled by morning traffic jams â€¢ Begin their day more alert and productive from early morning exercise Bicycling to work is good for your business because: â€¢ Less parking required â€¢ Overall savings on long-term health benefits â€¢ Good for corporate social responsibility The Commuter Check for Bicycling is Endorsed by the League of American Bicyclist. The Commuter Check for Bicycling program supports the expansion of the Qualified Transportation Fringe Benefit - IRS Tax Code Section 132(f) â€“ that allows employers to offer as a subsidy of $20.00 per month to their employees who ride their bicycles to work to pay for bicycle commuting costs. Bicycle commuting costs include the cost of bicycles, bicycling equipment, accessories, and bicycle storage costs. Today, businesses nationwide are making a positive impact for their employees, the environment, and their bottom line. Join the Revolution!
