Nick's proposal
by Frank Gmeindl 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Bicycle Board Members, I just received the attached file from Nick Hein as completion of his action item "107. Prepare a detailed proposal of the Youth Bicycle Education plan, including an outline of class design and the detailed actions that the BB will be expected to take." He wants to discuss it at tonight's meeting. Since the agenda is already full, when we discuss the agenda as topic 2 of the meeting we can decide how and when to deal with it. My inclination is to put it on the agenda for our November meeting. At least, you could familiarize yourself with it before tonight's meeting. Frank

Bicycle Board Members, See Alice's article, Teach children the ropes of bicycling on page 1-D of today's Dominion Post. If someone knows how to link to it, perhaps they'll share the link.

Bumper Stickers
by Frank Gmeindl 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Bicycle Board Members, Thanks to Aira, I now have 1,000 Share the Road. It's the Law! bumper stickers in my living room. What should I do with them? I'm thinking, give a few to each of you at next Thursday's BB meeting; a few to each Traffic Commission member at next Wednesday's TC meeting; a hundred or so to Pathfinder and Wamsley Cycles; fifty or so to the Greater Morgantown Commerce and Visitor's Bureau. Who wants to take a bunch out to Greer Limestone and stick them on the back of limestone trucks? Longview trucks? Rt. 100 coal trucks? Other ideas? Jeff Mikorski (Acting City Manager as of tomorrow) volunteered to pass them out to City staff and council and make them available in the lobby of City Hall.

Bicycle Board Members, Thanks to the Education Committee, gunnar, Betsy, Ryan, JR Petsko (photographer) and Gary Rodosta (designer) our first electronic billboard is up on Easton Hill heading out of town from the Mileground. This is the first of seven electronic billboards that the Education Committee and Gary are designing and planning to display around the City next Spring. I attached a photo in case you don't happen to go out that way. It will only be up through October. Frank Gmeindl Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles

MUTCD/ASHTO summary of bicycle-related signage
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hi BB, This is to close my action alert as discussed at the September 2, Bicycle Board Meeting. Attached are two documents. The first is the Authoritative Striping Guidelines document that was presented to the TC. The second is Sign Placement on shared-use paths. Both documents refer to the 2003 MUTCD that was/is still current. The first document also incorporates the 1999 AASHTO. The Striping Committee was comprised of Mark Wise (BOPARC), Don Spencer (City), Mike Breiding (Citizen), Christiaan Abildso (PSB), Ella Belling (MRTC), and me (BB), and ultimately came to this consensus about striping:/ / /Place a single, solid center line with arrows denoting travel direction on dangerous trail segments and at areas where pedestrians frequently enter the trail. / Based on personal observations, I feel this approach has been successful in helping to alter people's behavior. On another subject, if anyone is interested, I have the last revision of the Bicycle Parking Plan which may be of interest to those who want to get up to speed on what constitutes well-designed bicycle facilities. -Jonathan

http://support.railstotrails.org/site/PageNavigator/AAA "The American Automobile Association (AAA) wants Congress to cut funds that support trail, biking and walking programs in order to funnel that money to the highway system.

MPO Conference Mobile Lab route
by Frank Gmeindl 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

Bicycle Board Members, Following is the route proposed by the Pedestrian Safety Board for the MPO Conference Mobile Laboratory: Leave Hotel Morgan Up Beechurst Right on Patteson/705 to Willowdale Right on Willowdale Left on Irwin Left on Chestnut Ridge Left on Stewartstown Left into Suncrest Town Center Right onto 705 Right onto Mileground Continue to Willey Willey back to town. Please reply by 9/21 with any bicycling points along the route and their specific locations that we should indicate to the WVDOH and other participants that will be on the bus. These would be points that illustrate bicyclist needs and issues that are common throughout the state. We can suggest changes to the route. The mobile lab will be a small 24 passenger Mountain Line bus. We may be able to get the driver to stop at interesting locations along the route however the tour must fit in the 12:30 -1:50 time slot on 10/27. I will compile your recommendations and provide a script to Bill Austin by 9/24 unless one of you wants to volunteer to do that. Referring to the minutes (attached) of the last 2 BB meetings in which we brainstormed ideas of routes and things to show them might help you respond to this message. I attended the Ped meeting last night and the above was the consensus route for indicating pedestrian issues. Matthew Cross will be the pedestrian spokesperson on the bus. I will be the bicycling spokesperson unless one of you want to do it or if I can persuade one of you to do it. Frank Gmeindl Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles

Second Sunday is an event I learned about when I attended a 2010 Memorial Day event in Lexington, KY where more than 2,500 bicyclists of all ages participated: http://tomeblen.bloginky.com/2010/05/31/cyclists-of-all-ages-take-to-street… Lexington has a Second Sunday event every month: http://www.2ndsundayky.com/2nd-sunday-lexington.htm More about 2s: http://www.2ndsundayky.com/about-2s.htm This state endorsed program just started in 2009, and is already reaping amazing benefits. -Jonathan

CCC in DA or MJ
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 04 Sep '10

I am just curious why I never observe Confident City Cycling ads in the Daily Athenaeum or the Mountaineer Jeffersonian? I can't help to think that there would be a much higher return rate from an ad targeting WVU students, plus anyone who knows anything about successful advertising would realize that just by adding the word FREE in the ad copy we would see a greatly enhanced response rate from this target group. -Jonathan

by Frank Gmeindl 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Bicycle Board Members, On Saturday, October 2, 9 am - 2 pm, we will conduct a special traffic skills class for EXPERIENCED CYCLISTS. Please reply to this message if you want to get respect from motorists, lose your fear of riding in traffic and avoid crashes! You will learn: Essential Handling Skills: steering in a straight line and scanning & signaling. Bicycling in Traffic: principles of traffic law; lane positioning and getting motorists to yield to you. Avoiding Crashes: why crashes happen; crash prevention and crash avoidance maneuvers. You must already know: Bicycle Form, Fit and Function: the parts of a bicycle; bike selection; sizing; adjusting your bicycle fit and the pre-ride safety check. Basic Maintenance: tools for the road; tire repair; adjusting brakes and adjusting derailleurs. Clothing and Equipment: helmets, clothing, accessories and required equipment. Efficiency, Power, Endurance: cadence and smooth shifting; nutrition & hydration and training routines. Riding with Groups and on the Trail: group etiquette and trail etiquette. These topics are covered in the 1-hour Monday night and full-weekend courses (see BikeMorgantown.com for schedule). Being an EXPERIENCED CYCLIST means you already know these. Tests: There will be a practical road test at the end and an optional written test. If you pass both, you will get a certificate from the League of American Bicyclists. The written test covers all the topics above. You can get all the theory and take the written test on-line at bikeed.org . If you pass the tests there and bring your results to class, they will count for the written test. Cost: The cost is $20. If you have a WVU ID and pass both the tests, your fee will be reimbursed.
