Re: [Bikeboard] Another election!

Thanks, Alice. I'm not sure I understand the wording change you're proposing. Confident City Cycling in stead, less intimidating? Please give me the wording to put on the card.

"Bike Laws" reference on Bike Morgantown page
by director 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Good afternoon, While updating the address information on our Positive Spin brochure regarding bike laws I checked both the old and new Bike Board references to bike laws. It appears the old site correctly references Article 373 of the municipal code, but the new site refers to Article 371 - I believe Article 373 is the correct reference. The other one is good, but it just doesn't have as much to say about bicycles. It appears to talk exclusively about pedestrians. Wasn't sure who to send this comment to, hope it helps.

Paul, Thanks for the prompt reply and recommendations. See my responses in-line below. Frank On Oct 13, 2010, at 10:53 PM, Paul Becker wrote: > I like the general layout.

Do you mean the SECOND line, "Learn to Ride without Fear"? That is currently centered. See attached rev 1. Please select you favorite. > Can we do the logo in color? Attached is a file that Emily Frye, the designer left me. See any colors that you like? (I think we've been through this before when you were setting up the articles for the DP.)

business card
by Frank Gmeindl 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Bicycle Board Members, At the last BB meeting, I took an action item to develop a Confident City Cycling business card that could be distributed through the local bike shops and other locations. Attached is my attempt. I am not a graphic designer so any constructive comments are appreciated. Also, I'd like to put the LAB logo on there if any of you could show me how to get it. Frank Gmeindl Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles
