Emily, Thanks for replying! I think a discussion among BB members on the future of bicycling in Morgantown would reveal a range of perspectives and I don't think mine would be any better than others. I certainly don't know much about events. Thanks for telling us about Kid's Day on July 20th. I know the annual Appalachian Spring Spectacular is the first weekend in May: May 4-5 with May 4 being the long, hard "Bonus Ride" and May 5 being the 20, 40 or 60 mile easy rides. But, I expect at least gunnar, Colin, Andrew, Chip and Alice would know more about events and even the future of bicycling in Morgantown that I. However, if they all chime in with events and perhaps even a little perspective on the future of bicycling in Morgantown, I'd be willing to roll it up and deliver it to Chelsea after the BB reviews and approves it.

Reception for Terrence Moore
by Frank Gmeindl 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

A reception for former city manager Terrence Moore will be this Sunday (February 10, 2013) from 5-7 pm at the Aull Center, next to the public library on Spruce Street. This will be a "finger foods" reception - several people have already volunteered to provide some food, but how many people will come is unknown so please bring something if you can. There isn't going to be any formal program or gifts or whatever unless someone wants to take that on. Terrence doesn't want a big event. The event is being organized by a group of people who want to have a chance to see Terrence before he leaves.

The Science Behind Cycling
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

Everyone, Pasted below, and attached is a file from Ryan Stocking who teaches "The Science Behind Cycling". He wants help ranking the titles for a a tent layout as explained below, thank-you! -Jonathan: In our effort to develop the curriculum to be delivered at the 2013 National Boy Scout Jamboree, we are in the process of designing the layout for a 20’x20’ tent. This tent will contain a number of hands-on activities to engage scouts in the science behind various aspects of cycling. At this time, we envision dividing the tent into 4 subsections (safety, gears, Monark/Cycleops Test, and tire pressure) each of which will showcase a particular set of activities/labs and the scientific principles related to each. For each section, a banner will be hung to distinguish one from the other. With that being said, we would appreciate your participation in helping us decide on the titles for each section within the tent. Please put yourself in the mindset of a scout (age range 12-18) visiting our tent and rank the following (with 1 being the highest) and/or feel free to write in any suggestions you may have. Thank you for your help! *Safety: Monark Cycleops Test:* Spin Doctor ___________ Pedal Power ___________ Cycle Safety ___________ Got Power? ___________ Safety Center ___________ Human Performance ___________ Other ______________ ___ Other _________________ *Gears: Tire Pressure:* Get into Gear ___________ Tire Tips ___________ Changing Gears ___________ Pump it up ___________ Gear Up ___________ Tire Talk ___________ Gear Guide ___________ Other ___________________ Other _________________

Feb 7th, monthly Bike Board meeting
by Gunnar Shogren 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

Good snowy day. Bike board meeting this Thursday, 6:30 at Public Safety building. Attached please find the minutes from the January meeting. Problems or addendums? Please review now and comment. Who is planning on being there? Anybody have anything to add to the agenda besides Project Reports? I noticed that there was a "moving" van at Positive Spin a few weeks ago. My breath is still baited and waiting on news from the meeting. Just getting back to town from my adventure in Louisville, so pardon the tardiness, Gunnar Shogren Acting Chair. Woke up w/ a slight scratchy throat and sniffles. :(
