Bike Month: Updated Events Poster (with more info about the Motown Bike Bonanza)
by Drew Gatlin via Bikeboard 15 May '18

15 May '18

Hello All! Please see attached for an updated poster that focuses on events happening just this week -- Bike to Work Day, the Friday night social ride, and the Saturday Bike Bonanza. This version has expanded information for the Bonanza and a corrected phone number for the mall hotline that will answer people's questions about the event. Please spread this poster far and wide over the next few days, and please join us at these excellent events. We always have a great time at Bike to Work Day and we have great prizes to give away for this year's event. The Bonanza should be a blowout success (cross your fingers for no rain!). If you know of anyone looking to volunteer, please send them our way. We're particularly looking for crowd control help on Saturday from 10-2p. Best, Drew p.s. I BCC'd quite a few of you, so reply all at your discretion! -- *J.D.

Bike rodeo events and volunteers
by Bridget O'Meara via Bikeboard 15 May '18

15 May '18

Hi all, Drew, Marilyn, Harry, and I met last week to layout the bike rodeo and talk about some final details. There was some discussion about having events for adults to participate in. Some ideas were: 1. Introduction to bike maintenance. Jonathan and Jonathan, do you think Positive Spin could put something together? I was thinking something like how to change a flat tire, how to take care of your chain, maybe adjusting breaks, that kind of thing. 2. Skills test for adults. Does anyone have ideas for this, and would anyone be willing to lead? We will also need volunteers for setting up, check-in (2-3), and for the rodeo (at least 6). If you can volunteer, please fill out the spreadsheet on the 2018 Bike Month shared folder. If you can't access the folder, just let me know the if you can volunteer, the times (between 9-3) that you will be available, and any preference for what you want to help out with. Thanks! -Bridget

Friends -Some photos attached...details.22 riders (9 girls) at Mountainview ES repping 1st-5th grade7 at South MS - all boys, boo - but a few are "grads" from our Mountainview #FRideDays of years past! What a glorious day...the smiles were broad and joyful...the freedom of two wheels!"Yea us, we don't need no stinkin' bus!" Many thanks to Kara for South organization, Principal Dickerson at Mountainview, Morgantown PD with a rider & cruiser to help the Mountainview crew, our sag wag for all the Mountainview backpacks, donations from Pathfinder and Wamsley's, and the Bike Board/City for buying the banners and the PR. We're meeting at Mountainview at 3:30 to chaperone them home, if interested in riding along.We'll be gathering at 4:00 at Jack Roberts Park to hand out some shwag and celebrate if anyone wants to join that as well. It takes a village.Christiaan "When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Board, Please excuse all the chatter on our listserv. I had a few incorrect logos in the previous drafts of our flyers.... glad I didn't choose graphic design as a career. This one should be good.

Media help for Bike to School Day please
by Christiaan Abildso via Bikeboard 02 May '18

02 May '18

Friends -It looks like we'll have good participation from Mountainview ES & South MS...and we could use some bike board help with press. Can we get some help putting together a PR & getting traditional news media? We still have details to work out for each ride re: times in the AM & PM, and meetup locations. But that shouldn't take very long.---I just bought 3, 2'x3' banners using the attached image that should be delivered to our house Monday evening. Don't tell my wife ;) Is anybody willing to reimburse me $150? If not, I don't really care. Brian Ricketts has agreed to help us take photos...he did a great job with that a few years back. Those of us on the rides can just crush it with social media. #BikeToSchoolDay #BikeMonth #MorgantownAlso attached is a Word doc that could be used to disseminate info if we want. Kara & I are in discussions about details & media, but could use help.Thanks so much!Christiaan "When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
