Bicycle Board Members,

I have accepted an invitation to make a 20 minute presentation "on bicycle planning and how it can be included in MPO planning efforts" to the Greater Morgantown Metropolitan Planning Organization and Star City Mayor next Thursday at 9:30 am at the MPO offices in the airport.  All members of the MPO including the Policy Board, Technical Advisory Committee and Citizen Advisory Committee are invited to attend.  So are 3 members of the WVDOH and a member of the Federal Highway Administration.

Personally, I would like the presentation to result in the participants:

• seeing bicycling as a valid means of transportation and an integral component of our transportation mix;
• considering bicycling in any and all future transportation decisions;
• looking to the Bicycle Board as valued bicycling consultants.

I would appreciate your thoughts and especially any recommendations and data for the presentation.  Please reply-all and maybe we can get some synergy going :-)

Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles
