Likewise, and happy to coordinate like I did last year. Really only took a few phone calls and emails to get the word out. If anyone has other ideas for local businesses that would be interested in supporting Bike to Work Day, let me know! I'll call the same ones from last year in April to see if they can help out again.
Also, love Frank's Bike Month Proclamation as a way to get the word out.
Copying Kasey so she knows Morgantown is in!
Best, Emily

Can we do it again this year? Last year, Emily organized the best Bike To Work day we've ever had!
- 12 participants including Mayor Selin
- Coffee, muffins, granola bars, table, server, Maggie from the Grind
- Free beer tickets from Black Bear
- Gift certificate raffle from Real
- Safe ride out the trail to Sixth St., up Beechurst & Mon Blvd. and
across the Evansdale campus.
Who's in this year? I'll help.

WVCC Update, March 9, 2015
Hello WVCC Members:
It’s a very good thing that we passed the Bike Safety Bill last session. The current WV House and Senate’s priorities do not include walkable and bikeable communities. Maybe they will look to creating healthier communities and citizens and economic development and tourism opportunities created by more people walking and biking next session. In the meantime, WVCC will focus on city councils and county commissions. During the next few months, we will create a “State of the State of Cycling and Walking in WV.” I’m asking ALL of you to send me something good regarding anything dealing with cycling or walking in your community. We would like to have a great story to tell when we kick off our Bike Safety Campaign sometime in May so please send me your good news by May 1st or sooner if you can. I will be sending out details about the Give Em 3 Safety Campaign as I receive them. I’m sure we will have a big media splash when the billboards start to appear around the Kanawha Valley.
Our next board meeting is Friday, April 10th from 4 to 5:30 in Charleston. This will be a working, business only board meeting. If you would like to join via conference call, please email me. All are welcome.
We would like to see as many communities across WV participate in Bike to Work Day on May 15th. I know Morgantown has done a ride for years and is doing one this year. We will be doing one in Charleston as well. I am happy to help you organize one in your community. Please email or call me so we can start!
Wish me and Brian Weber luck this week as we prepare to meet with the WV Congressional Delegation this Thursday. It’s the League of American Bicyclist’s Annual Lobby Day on Thursday and we will be meeting with staffers to discuss the importance of pedestrian/cycling infrastructure to our state.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Kasey
