Bike Board Members,

Attached please find the agenda for our meeting this Thursday.  Please note, we will be meeting in Council Chambers (across and up the street from where we usually meet).  Also attached, is the minutes from our last meeting.  Hopefully, the PR committee and Commuting committee will be able to distribute read-aheads for the PR committee and Commuting committee recommendations in time for us to review them in preparation for the meeting.

Also, please plan to attend the Traffic Commission meeting this Wednesday, 11-April, 6:30 PM.  It's also in Council Chambers.  I think it is very important that we have many Bike Board members attending to show support for our Infrastructure and Education recommendations.  How strongly the TC supports our recommendations can depend on the number of us who show up.

Besides reviewing what the Traffic Commission did with our recommendations, at our Thursday meeting, we'll have a lot to talk about the Effective Cycling training.  Eight of our members completed the March 10-11 Road I course and Nick and I completed the instructor certification seminar April 5-7.  At our meeting Thursday, we may also have a chance to form committees to address the last of our goal groups: Law, Maps and Bike Parking. 

I think we've all learned a lot over the past several months by working on our committees.  I'm hoping that we can bring together all this knowledge in the next few months to complete our first comprehensive bicycling plan.

Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles.
