[Fwd: July BB meeting]
by Frank Gmeindl 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Bicycle Board members, I still haven't received a response from 4 of our board members to the request below and we do not have a quorum for either July 3 or July 10 for our next meeting however the number of votes for July 3 exceeded July 10. Since we don't have a quorum for either date, I'm canceling the meeting. See you in August 7, maybe.

Please reply whether or not you'll attend. If we won't have a quorum for July 3, would you attend a meeting the following Thursday, July 10? Frank

Good afternoon, Saw this article on a site I read regularly. I know this article preaches to the choir, but I thought I'd pass it along anyway. Many of the points in the article are from news stories reported in the last week.

GIS resources / contacts
by Derek Springston 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Hey guys.. As I've stated before, I am interested in helping with GIS mapping and analysis for the Bike Board, but it seems like there are several of us who are interested or have already been mapping. I think it would be great for us GIS folks to get together and figure out where we are with mapping and who has what. I would like to start making contacts on who is willing to help with GIS mapping. Maybe this would be more appropriately brought up at the next meeting? See you guys next month. ~Derek Springston _________________________________________________________________ It’s easy to add contacts from Facebook and other social sites through Windows Live™ Messenger.

Chip, Is this a problem if it benefits the local merchants and community too?

Bicycle Benefits Program
by director 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Good morning, I just came across this website while reading the bikehugger blog http://www.bicyclebenefits.org/ It's a nationwide program to help cities provide cycling incentives to citizens through discounts at local businesses. I didn't read all the details but I thought it might work here in Morgantown. Plenty of other cities around the country are already signed up.

Resignation letter
by director 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

Good evening, I just wanted to let everyone on the board know that I resigned tonite. I'm leaving on the best possible terms, and I want to thank all present and past boardmembers for your passionate commitment to making Morgantown a better cycling community. This has made it a pleasure to work with you. My decision was somewhat spontaneous. We were discussing a slate of 3 qualified applicants for 2 positions on the board. My resignation made it possible to recommend them all without taking a vote. I see this as a good thing - as director of Positive Spin my second favorite thing (next to teaching young kids to ride for the first time) is seeing other citizens working together in an effective board as they grow into community leaders. It makes my decision easier that Positve Spin needs more of my attention and there are only so many hours in a month. The coming months will be critical for building our board so that to continue filling the unmet need we've tapped at the grass roots. It will need to be strong and self-sustaining to help Morgantown meet the 80% reduction in vehicle miles to avoid climate disaster. Thank you for your passion, enthusiasm and leadership in the past. Good luck to all the board -old and new- as you make the future. And don't hesitate to call anytime I can offer technical, logistical or menu advice.

Bicycle Board Members, The video at _http://1world2wheels.org/about_ might help you get psyched up for tomorrow's meeting. If the video doesn't, perhaps seeing Betsy's hot racing kit on the same page might. Frank
