Nice points...Might the future of cycling in the area include a countywide bicycle and pedestrian coordinator (funded jointly by the city, county, and WVU) since roughly 18% of Mon County residents commute on foot or by bike? Something to think about.
 
ALSO: I'm going to be in DC for the National Bike Summit the week after next. We need to ask our Congresspeople to come visit the district. Wouldn't it be nice to have Sen Manchin or Rockefeller or Rep Rahall (on the Congressional Bike Caucus) or our own district Rep McKinley at the Appalachian Spring Spectacular to showcase such a great event!? Something else to discuss.

Thanks, Andrew!  I'm OK with your proposal.  What does the rest of the BB think?

Hey Guys,
  I'm ok with talking with her to go over certain events in Morgantown as they pertain to cycling. I already have a familiarization with WV Living Magazine at least from the Pathfinder standpoint. If you would like I can get a hold of her and do the interview no problem.

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.

Frank, you'd probably be the best person to speak to the future of cycling in Morgantown. You know it best, have the historical context, and relationships. Just my two cents!

We are going to participate in Kid's Day on July 20th! I have a list of interested folks I'm going to get together in March to start planning. I'd be happy to give a quote about that.

Hi,

I am with Morgantown magazine and we are doing a page about bicycling in Morgantown. Is there somebody I can contact that can possibly give me a few quotes about the future of bicycling in Morgantown or any upcoming events?

Thanks!
Chelse Hensley
