HB3021 passes House Judiciary Committee!

Our bill just passed out of committee! The 4 foot passing distance was reinstated but attempts to put “far to right” were unsuccessful.

Our bill passed out of judiciary committee. Back to 4 foot passing requirement but attempt to add repeal of far to right failed. Great work Gary Zuckett! Yes, more to be done but again the dialogue and awareness/visibility of cycling issues has been incredible. Thanks to all of you for making calls and sending emails. On to the Senate!

HB 3021
by Frank Gmeindl 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Barbara, Please repeal 17C-11-5 (a) that requires bicyclists to ride as far to the right as practicable. Today, the Judiciary Committee will consider HB 3021. As introduced, HB 3021 repealed 17C-11-5 (a). The Transportation and Roads Committee amended HB 3021 and reinstated 17C-11-5 (a). I've attached a one-page summary of the dangers that riding far to the right as required by 17C-11-5 (a) present to bicyclists. Basically, when cyclists ride too far right on narrow roads, motorists pass dangerously close; intrude into the on-coming lane when there is on-coming traffic; make right turns into cyclists at driveways and intersections; run into cyclists from behind when the cyclists turn left from the right side of the lane; turn left into on-coming cyclists that they don't see because they are screened by overtaking traffic and broken pavement, potholes, broken glass, debris and other hazards that are prevalent at the edge of the road cause bicyclists to crash. The one-minute animation at http://commuteorlando.com/ontheroad/animations/narrowlane/narrowlane.html shows what happens when a cyclist rides too far right in narrow lanes. I've also attached a detailed analysis that shows how 17C-11-5 (a) contradicts and confounds other laws. A fundamental issue underlying this and other such laws that discriminate against bicyclists is equal rights and justice for bicyclists, motorists and other road users. I will call you to discuss this issue. If you would like to call me, my number is 304-376-0446. Thanks for your continued support of bicyclists! Frank D.

Black Bear/ Saris Bike Rack Photo Shoot on Friday...
by Derek Springston 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hey guys, Here's the plan! After looking at the Doodle poll, most folks are available on *Friday from 10am-11am for the photo shoot at the Black Bear - Evansdale*. Try to be prompt as the managers at Black Bear will need to focus on their lunch rush hour as early as possible. If possible, arrive on a *bike or bring bikes and wear cycling or commuting-style clothing*. If you can't ride there, please try to bring a bike or two in your car. If you can bring bikes, we still need you! After we take the photo on Friday, Emily or I will upload to the Saris Facebook page ASAP, and we'll *all need to be responsible for pushing our friends/acquaintances for votes through Social Media, etc before the end of the day Friday*. Our photo will get uploaded here: https://www.facebook.com/SarisCycleRacks?v=app_212049048919872&app_data=gaR… I'll put that link over on these Google groups: Mon Bike Club, WVMBA, WVU Cycling, or other pages you guys recommend. I'm also going to try to make a flyer for the Black Bear folks to hang up tomorrow to drive votes. As of today, the highest voted photo has 139 votes. I feel confident if we work hard, we can get that many in a day. Let's give it a shot and hope our time is worth it! Not sure about you, but I'd feel great getting yet another nice bike rack placed in our town at one of our favorite restaurants! If you have any questions, call me at 304-290-7727.

I hope the talking points will help the delegates decide to approve it. I would like to flag one error in the talking points though. The last sentence in the third paragraph says, "WV is only one of nine states that do not have far to the right without any exceptions."

A bike corral converts the space of one car parking stall to parking for 10 bikes. It’s a great use of space and a low cost option for more customer parking, it frees up sidewalk space for pedestrian foot traffic and communicates a commitment to bike friendliness. /The Hopleaf Brewery is located in one of Chicago’s most bike focused neighborhoods. Many patrons arrive via bike throughout the year. Turning a loading zone into bike parking for 12 bikes has provided a boost for business at the brewery and has added to the streetscape of the neighborhood./ /The Andersonville bike corral is part of a parklet designed as part of Chicago’s People Spot program. Custom logo plates promote Andersonville’s bike friendliness. /

Re: [Bikeboard] three/four foot passing
by Frank Gmeindl 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi Kasey, Here are some suggested bullet points for the 4-foot passing law. The 4-foot passing requirement: creates an easily visualized distance for police to enforce and for motorists to employ when passing bicyclists; increases awareness that bicyclists are legitimate road users; establishes a bicyclist's right to space and improves interactions with motorists (previously, motorists may have been unsure of the minimum distance required to safely pass a bicyclist); can lead to an increase in the number and types of bicyclists within the community; may help support implementation of Complete Streets policies; is consistent with 3 or 4-foot passing requirements in adjoining states, PA, MD and TN. (Note: I don't know whether OH, VA, KY, NC have considered 3 or 4-foot passing requirements). In the past 10 years, there has been a strong trend among states to enact laws that require a motorist to allow a definite minimum distance, usually 3-feet when passing a bicycle. The graph on p. 10 of WV Connecting Communities Legislative Agenda: Proposed Bicycle Legislation Changes indicates that there is tremendous momentum for 3 or 4-foot passing laws. Concerning your question about law enforcement needing a law on the books when a cyclist is hit, 17C-7-3 already says, "The driver of a vehicle overtaking another vehicle proceeding in the same direction shall give an audible signal and pass to the left thereof at a safe distance and shall not again drive to the right side of the roadway until safely clear of the overtaken vehicle." but here it gets sticky because according to 17C-1-2, a bicycle is not a vehicle however, according to 17C-11-2, a bicyclist shall be granted the same rights as applicable to the driver of a vehicle. As I said several times before, I added the 4-foot law to the legislative agenda because the WVCF favored a 3-foot law when we talked several years ago after the first annual WV cycling symposium (and PA has passed a 4-foot law since). At that time, I argued that 17C-7-3 already gave police the law that they needed to cite motorists that pass bicyclists too closely. I also argued that the safe passing distance increases with the difference in speed between the motor vehicle and the bicycle. 3-feet is not enough when the motor vehicle is traveling more than 25-mph faster than the bicyclist; especially when the motor vehicle is a coal truck. Nevertheless, the nation is going with 3 or 4-foot passing rules and that's probably the strongest argument for WV having one too.

Beech View Place opportunity - sidewalk ramp
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

On the way down to BOPARC to pick up tags for the valet service tonight, I observed workers in the process of finishing the cement for steps going down to the rail trail at the new Beech View Place development (I believe that is the correct name). This is a perfect opportunity to request that ramp(s) be placed on the side of these new steps so that bicyclists can easily push their bicycles up/down, rather than having to carry their bicycles up the steps. This would be an easy thing to add. Who could we contact to make this request? -Jonathan

Today - Free bicycle valet parking @ SWITCH
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Today at WVU's Festival of Ideas showing of SWITCH at the Metropolitan Theater you will have the opportunity to be part of what I believe is the first ever free bicycle valet parking service in the history of Morgantown. Even if you do not stay for the whole event, you will have made history, think about that. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. so arrive a little earlier to get premium parking in the loading zone right outside the front door. Volunteers include Derek from the BB, Mark Wm. Thorne with the South Middle Bike Club, Gus, and me. Additionally, we will be filmed by a senior majoring in journalism for a multimedia piece. Get in the zone! -Jonathan

Re: [Bikeboard] Win a Saris Bike Corral

Bike Board Members, As promised, here are my task recommendations to proceed with sending a photo for the SARIS rack contest. So far Jonathan, Emily, and I are working on this. *Would anyone else like to help? *It has to be submitted by the 29th of March, so we don't have much time to act. I'd like folks to *volunteer for the tasks below today and tomorrow*. Then we'll proceed. *Tasks* 1. *Derek - *Contact Black Bear owners to see if they mind us asking Mr. Sellaro about the bike rack as we had considered last year. I don't want to spend a whole lot of time on this since we did last year, but if Mr. Sellaro is ok with it, then we'll proceed. 2. *Any BB Member or SARIS committee* *member* - Submit locations you think would be appropriate for Saris rack in order to Develop list of possible businesses and locations around town that would provide greatest need for a rack. 3. *Volunteer?* - Email BB for vote on top 5 locations (or so) to pursue contacting. 4. *Volunteer?* - Develop list of contact information and call for permission to take photo of their location with a group of staged cyclists and/or students, others. Establish time to take photo with each business. Would be best to schedule these photos perhaps as part of a small group ride on Saturday or Sunday so we can get them all done at once, but would be nice not to have the same exact people in each one! 5. *Volunteer?* - Round up group of volunteer cyclists for scheduled times. Could use Mon Bike Club, Bike Board, or WVU Cycling Club, etc to round folks up. 6. *Emily and volunteer cyclists* - Take photos at locations 7. *Volunteer?* - Submit Photos to Saris 8. *Volunteers?* - Post article on Morgantownbike.com, Facebook, talk to friends about voting for our picture(s) after March 29th on the Saris website. *Please volunteer to help today or tomorrow! * ~Derek On Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 1:59 PM, Emily Vasile <emilyvasile(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Cool, thanks Derek.

Jonathan, I am writing on behalf of the Morgantown, WV Bicycle Board. We are planning to submit to the SARIS Bike Corral program. Can you provide us with the rack's specs, installation recommendations, and any other documents you might have which could help us convince folks in our area that they want this rack? How many locations are we allowed to submit? :) Thanks, ~Derek -- *Let deeds, not words, be your adorning. -'Abdu'l-Baha* *“Every time I see an adult on a bicycle I no longer despair for the future of the human race.” -H.G.

Bike Racks at Schools
by Andrew Pathfinder 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Choice number one. The Graber...yes Graber Mighty Mite 6 Bike Rack. This rack retails for $110 and could be anchored to the ground using a bracket or locked to a permanent fixture. Option number two: Dero MR 12 Rack. This rack is more substantial and would hold 12 bicycles and would be easier to bolt to the ground. Price would be $400. I would be interested to see if budget dollars could be used for this purpose and or would also be interested in helping put a citizen pool to get one of these racks installed at the school. There are other options but these two give a good idea of a basic and nicer version of the rack debate. Thanks, Andrew Andrew R.

Re: [Bikeboard] Bike valet ?
by Frank Gmeindl 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Hi Mark, On March 19; 6:30 pm at the Met Theatre, the WVU Festival of Ideas is presenting Switch, http://festivalofideas.wvu.edu/archive/scott-tinker - a movie at 6:30 followed by a lecture. I would guess the valets would be needed 6-9:30. Jonathan Rosenbaum, the current Director of Positive Spin announced at last Thursday's regular monthly Morgantown Municipal Bicycle Board meeting that Positive Spin is going to provide bicycle parking and bicycle valet service for Switch attendees that arrive on bicycles. Some Bicycle Board members, including Traci Liebig volunteered to try to provide a bike rack. Nobody volunteered to be valets. I expect Jonathan Rosenbaum is the Point of Contact. I copied him as well as some of the others that volunteered to help; as well as the whole Bicycle Board. Jonathan's phone number is 304-599-2370. Frank On Mar 9, 2013, at 4:43 PM, mwthorne(a)access.k12.wv.us wrote: > Frank, The South Bike Club is curious! What and when is the event needing bike valets? We might very well be interested if the date and time are good. I e-mailed Traci ? who was addressed in the e-mail you forwarded, but have yet to hear from her. Mark

Switch Film Screening
by Traci Liebig 08 Mar '13

Hi BB, WVU Events likes our idea and is happy to have us there. The speaker does not have a bus or anything, so the area in front of the Met should be clear if Damien wants to ask for that space for bike valet parking. The press release is slated to go out on March 13th, so we need to have our details firmed up by then to get them included. They are willing to give us a small table in the foyer as well to promote what we want to promote (I would suggest Bike Month type stuff and/or the GIS map that shows road ratings). Once we have details, I can vet a little write up through the BB and then get it to University News. So--- the next step would be for me to ask my facilities group if we can borrow the comb racks we have. Is that what you want me to do or do you want to talk to this person with the contraption? We will also need a volunteer to babysit the bikes because WVU will not what to be liable for any potential theft. Our final task should be personally encouraging folks to ride their bikes to the screening so we don't have a bunch of empty racks in the street! Thanks!

Re: [Bikeboard] Bike Racks at Schools
by Chip Wamsley 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

To all, The rack that Frank showed is called a "J' rack, and it holds smaller wheeled bikes better than a rack that has the front bar on the ground. A lot of companies that make park furniture supply that style as the "J" parts are a similar component of their picnic benches. Prices should be about $470-$500. They could be anchored with auger screws, or bolts in concrete. The cheap Graber racks are made out of trunk rack sized tubing and probably too light duty for outside in a school yard. Mark Wise might have a source for the "J" style racks from a supplier he already deals with. Chip -----Original Message----- From: "Frank Gmeindl" <frank.gmeindl(a)comcast.net> Sent 3/8/2013 7:21:35 AM To: "Ryan Post" <rpostwvu(a)gmail.com> Cc: "Bike Board" <bikeboard(a)bikemorgantown.com>, "Andrew Pathfinder" <andrew.pathfinder(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Bikeboard] Bike Racks at Schools The attached comb rack similar to those in front of Terra Cafe offer the advantage of being able to string a cable lock through the bicycle frame, both wheels and under the horizontal bar on the rack that keeps the wheel from rolling out of the rack. The other comb racks have that bar setting flat on the ground so you can't get a cable around it. The biggest disadvantage of comb racks is that it's difficult to lock both wheels and frame to them. Wave racks damage bikes and do not provide sufficient support to keep the bike from getting dinged unless you treat it as an inverted-U rack and lock your bike along the longitudinal axis of the rack but then that limits the capacity to probably 2-4. On Mar 8, 2013, at 12:19 AM, Ryan Post wrote: I was on the advisory committee when WVU installed the new racks, and Jonathan had a lot of information on different racks then. At the time WVU had 2 types: some simple comb deal with a lot of slots closely together, and a really bad design that held the lower portion of just one wheel. I never had much issue with the comb racks, either putting my rear wheel in, or putting my front wheel over (the bike then rested on the underside of the downtube and fork. The combs could hold a lot of bikes closely together. My MTB with fenders wouldn't fit in the smaller combs, but I could lock it on the side of the rack. The new WVU U shaped racks work well, but they consume A LOT of space and were overly expensive. The useful ones were always full (less capacity than the combs had). The serpentine ones like at the rec center are pretty good, though awkward to overfill so still not able to store say 8bikes on the rack. In terms of locking both wheels and frame, the comb would require a 6' lock, but I was never that worried about locking more than the frame, and maybe a wheel in Morgantown. On Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 11:20 PM, Jonathan Rosenbaum <jr(a)wvcompletestreets.org> wrote: When it comes to rack design, I advocate for the guidelines the ABPB recommends. There is a good list at http://www.bicyclinginfo.org/engineering/parking.cfm : support the frame of the bicycle and not just one wheel allow the frame and one wheel to be locked to the rack when both wheels are left on the bike allow the frame and both wheels to be locked to the rack if the front wheel is removed allow the use of either a cable or U-shaped lock be securely anchored be usable by bikes with no kickstand be usable by bikes with water bottle cages be usable by a wide variety of sizes and types of bicycle I will soon be taking action on getting the PS rack to Suncrest Middle School. It was my Alma Mater, afterall, the one where I was not allowed to park my bicycle. Matt's victory is significant, emphasize that to Chelsea. However, I would like well designed racks to be installed because they encourage bicycle parking. Comb and toast racks really aren't suitable for a school environment. -Jonathan On 03/07/2013 07:33 PM, Andrew Pathfinder wrote: Choice number one. The Graber...yes Graber Mighty Mite 6 Bike Rack. This rack retails for $110 and could be anchored to the ground using a bracket or locked to a permanent fixture. Option number two: Dero MR 12 Rack. This rack is more substantial and would hold 12 bicycles and would be easier to bolt to the ground. Price would be $400. I would be interested to see if budget dollars could be used for this purpose and or would also be interested in helping put a citizen pool to get one of these racks installed at the school. There are other options but these two give a good idea of a basic and nicer version of the rack debate. Thanks, Andrew Andrew R.

All BB Members, *Can someone please take the lead on organizing the Black Bear photo for the Sarris contest?* I just need to move that off of my plate at least until after Wednesday. I would still be be open to actually taking the photo or bringing some props perhaps on Thursday or Friday, but I just don't have time until then. Jason from Black Bear requested that we *contact Mr. Sellaro* who owns/leases the property by asking: Can somebody from your board contact Jim Sellaro for permission? I will contact Jim and let him know to expect a call. He runs Sellaro Overhead Door service in Star City. Also, Damien Davis asked yesterday: Are you taking the lead on getting the photo taken at Black Bear? If so, will you *contact Aaron Stout* (412-287-1512). He is going to be managing the new location and is willing to help. He is working till 4:30, 5:00pm. Please call him after this time. Please let me know if you're acting on this to help us out!

To: Derek Springston <dspringston(a)gmail.com> Derek, Do Iwe understand correctly that you are trying to enter a contest to win a free bike "rack" for our new location? If so, we need the permission of the property owners before we do anything. While Matt and I would love to have bike parking over there getting permission from the group of owners may find opposition (we speak from experience thus far). We are waiting on permission on several other requests made to the Sellaro family and don't wish to personally poke the hornet's nest further. Can somebody from your board contact Jim Sellaro for permission? I will contact Jim and let him know to expect a call. He runs Sellaro Overhead Door service in Star City. With permission granted, you may take photos when you wish but we do know that contractors are in and out all weekend and therefore trucks and equipment abound. Please keep us posted.

Assuming we have your blessing, could we still take a photo for this location, try to make it look appealing for the photo using cyclists and maybe props, and submit it for the contest? If so, what day and time can we do so? We have to submit by the 25th, so I propose that we do it this weekend or early next week.

New standards for USDOT
by Chet Parsons 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Looks like Secretary LaHood is ditching AASHTO before leaving his post. From DC Streetsblog U.S. DOT to Challenge AASHTO Supremacy on Bike/Ped Safety Standards by Tanya Snyder <http://dc.streetsblog.org/author/tanya-snyder/> For years, the federal government has adopted roadway guidelines that fall far short of what’s needed — and what’s possible — to protect cyclists and pedestrians. By “playing it safe” and sticking with old-school engineering, U.S. DOT allowed streets to be unsafe for these vulnerable road users. But that could be changing. The bike-friendliest transportation secretary the country has ever seen told state transportation officials yesterday at AASHTO’s annual Washington conference that U.S. DOT was getting into the business of issuing its own design standards, instead of simply accepting the AASHTO guidelines. <http://dc.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ray-aashto.jpg> LaHood told an audience of state transportation officials that the FHWA is getting into the roadway design business. Normally, the Federal Highway Administration points people<http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/programadmin/standards.cfm>to AASHTO’s Green Book<https://bookstore.transportation.org/collection_detail.aspx?id=110>, the organization’s design guide for highways and streets — and indeed, the agency is still directing people to the *2001 edition* of the Green Book. Cycling advocates have long criticized<http://dc.streetsblog.org/2012/06/19/aashto-adds-designs-to-bikeway-guide-b…> the AASHTO guide, and the FHWA’s adherence to it, since even the most recent version doesn’t incorporate the latest thinking in bicycle and pedestrian safety treatments. In FHWA’s new round of rule-making, DOT will set its own bicycle and pedestrian safety standards for the first time. The agency will “highlight bicycle and pedestrian safety as a priority,” LaHood said. (You can watch his entire speech on AASHTO’s online TV channel<http://www.transportationtv.org/Pages/default.aspx?VideoId=306> .) FHWA will rely heavily on input from AASHTO but also signaled that it would work with others to incorporate the full spectrum of bike/ped design best practices. The National Association of City Transportation Officials publishes its own, much more cutting-edge, design guide<http://dc.streetsblog.org/2011/03/09/new-bikeway-design-guide-could-bring-s…> for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. No one at U.S. DOT reached out to NACTO in advance of the AASHTO speech, but NACTO spokesperson Ron Thaniel said they have a “close working relationship with Secretary LaHood” and “look forward to working with him” on the new standards. LaHood noted that he would be meeting with cyclists next week at the National Bike Summit here in Washington and that he would work with them on ways to improve infrastructure “to make biking and walking opportunities as safe as they possibly can be.” But it was wise of him to make his announcement at AASHTO, not at the Bike Summit. He seems to be trying to bring AASHTO into the fold of a movement to embrace more innovative bikeway designs. “I’m asking [the cycling community] for their help but I’m asking you to be helpful also,” he told the state officials. “I know that most of you want to build the 21st century infrastructure that your communities need to be competitive. The problem is we don’t have modern-day roadway standards to help us bring these ideas to life.” It’s a big step for U.S. DOT to craft its own bicycle and pedestrian safety standards, and it’s especially positive that the move started under a secretary that sees biking and walking as equal to driving<http://dc.streetsblog.org/2010/05/28/cyclists-laud-lahoods-bike-ped-advocac…> in the transportation world. “We know that people are cycling more and walking more, and that pedestrian and cycling safety has to be a priority,” he told the audience at AASHTO yesterday. “We must ensure that our streets, bridges and highways are safe whether we’re in a car or on a bike.” Below are LaHood’s remarks, in full: Our job is never done. We can always do better, and that’s especially true when it comes to bicyclist and pedestrian safety. I’m going to meet with cyclists — their meeting is here in Washington next week, and we’re going to continue to work with the cycling community on promoting bicycle and pedestrian safety through public education, such as encouraging bike riders to wear a helmet, and through improved infrastructure in more livable communities that make biking and walking opportunities as safe as they possibly can be. We need your help in this. We know that people are cycling more and walking more and that pedestrian and cycling safety has to be a priority. We must ensure that our streets, bridges and highways are safe, whether we’re in a car or on a bike. So I’m asking them for their help but I’m asking you to be helpful also. I know that most of you want to build the 21st century infrastructure that your communities need to be competitive. The problem is we don’t have modern-day roadway standards to help us bring these ideas to life. Today, I’m proud to tell you that DOT is looking to create a standard guide for how we will build modern streets that work for everyone who depends on them. As we begin work on this, we’re going to look at the AASHTO bike guide — and other, similar types of assistance — to help us build streets, bridges and highways that keep all travelers as safe as possible. We’re going to build from your ideas in order to highlight bicycle and pedestrian safety as a priority. And we’re going to work with you as we create this critical safety resource. Businesses and travelers alike are looking to us to build modern infrastructure that not only meets their changing demands, but is safe as well. We must work together to meet the growing demand for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and to make these transportation options safe for more Americans.

by Jennifer Selin 04 Mar '13

Bike Board: from yesterday's meeting, ideas included Boys and Girls Club, educational uses, other non-profits, youth-oriented uses, sure sounds like a possibility for the positive spin bike repair, provision and education group. Tonight! Monday. Tour the school building from 5:30-6:00, then participate in small groups working in teams--visioning from 6-8. All are invited!
